I'm worried about my weight, which is 129.5 kg, and currently, I'm taking medication like telma amgp 1 and att dots for about 3.6 months from a government hospital. Lately, I've had anxiety attacks and occasional breathing problems. I've done a crona igmrapid test which came back negative, and other tests like cbclftkftlipid. My hemoglobin is 12.6, and triglycerides are at 199. Everything seems normal, but I'm concerned about how to increase my spo2 levels. Can you please help me with this?

What are the symptoms I should be looking out for?
