I'm really worried because I've been feeling this heaviness in my left upper area and sometimes it's hard to catch my breath. It's getting really uncomfortable and annoying. I saw a cardiologist but they didn't find anything. To feel better, I sometimes have to take deep breaths through my mouth. Do you have any ideas on what could help or any medicine you can suggest?

I'm checking my oxymeter, and it's showing a reading of 97. I'm a bit worried though because I read somewhere that oxymeters also pick up carboxyhemoglobin, so the real oxygen level might actually be below 90, maybe even 80. I've been feeling restless and anxious about this. I have some breathing issues, like I get tired when just eating or talking. Plus, when I wake up, I can really feel the air passing through my nose and throat, but my throat feels swollen. I'm on an Ayurvedic treatment for acidity for the past two months since I tried allopathy for one and a half months before, but it didn't work, and the issue keeps coming back. I also experience body pain and weakness. I had a chest X-ray, CBC, sugar test, abdomen sonography, and kidney function test about 15-20 days ago, and everything was normal. So, is it alright to rely on the oxymeter reading in my situation?

yes if its working properly

I'm experiencing heavy breathing due to chest congestion, and I think it's from the dust because of the construction work near my home. I've been taking crocin twice a day to help with the body pain that's coming from coughing. Is there anything else I should be doing to ease my breathing or any better ways to manage this situation?

My wife is six months pregnant and she's been struggling with a persistent cough and cold since her first month. We've been seeing her gynecologist regularly and they've given us some medicine, but it only offers temporary relief. Recently, the gynecologist advised us to consult a pulmonologist. I'm just concerned and wondering if it's safe for her to take allergy medication at this stage of her pregnancy. Any recommendations on what kind of treatment the pulmonologist might suggest?
