I'm really worried because my oxygen level has been fluctuating between 88 and 90 for the past three days. I'm 52 years old and weigh 95 kg, and my blood test came back normal. However, my CRP level was 35 mgL on April 13 and then went down to 8.60 mgL by April 27. What should I do about this situation?

I'm dealing with bronchitis asthma and I'm on Seroflo 250 and Montek FX. I also have NASH and take Bilypsa, Adesam 400, and Evion 400 for it. But every time I take Evion, I start having trouble breathing and it seems like it makes my asthma worse. Is there any link between Evion 400 and asthma? Why could this be happening?

you might be allergic to evion 400, better avoid taking it

I've been using Symbicort for about 2.5 years now, just one puff twice a day. I'm 25, and recently I had a spirometry test done. My FVC came out to be 85 and my FEV1 was 80. After taking a bronchodilator and retaking the test, there wasn't a significant change. My doctor mentioned that I might just be on the low side of normal, possibly with intermittent asthma or maybe nothing at all. But then I came across information suggesting that a lack of improvement in the reversibility test could point to COPD. So now I'm wondering, should I be concerned about COPD, or am I getting ahead of myself?
