I'm really worried about this cough I've been having. An X-ray showed there's some haziness in my lungs, and the term "pneumonitis" came up. Can you explain what might be causing this and what kind of treatment I should consider?

I'm really worried because I've been having trouble breathing for the past three years. It seems like every time I take my medication, it gets better for a little while, but then I start having difficulty again after a few days. I've also tried using inhalers, but they don't seem to be helping. What should I do?

I have two oximeters and I'm getting different readings from them. One shows 95 and the other shows 98 when I use them on the same finger. I'm not sure which one to trust. My friend's oximeter once showed 92 for me, but when I went to the hospital and checked with the electronic screen, it always showed 98. How can I figure out which reading is accurate?

Saturation less than 92. .Patient is advised pulmonologist opinion immediately.Symptoms nclude dizziness,headache,breathing difficulty and bluish discolouration of skin and mucous membrane.
