I've been dealing with a cough that I had a couple of months ago, and while it seems to be gone now, I'm still having trouble with persistent mucus. Recently, I've started feeling some chest tightness and alternating mild to moderate pain. Just a few days ago, my throat was also bothering me. I'm really concerned about what's causing all these symptoms, especially during this lockdown. Any advice on what I should do?

I'm really worried about my dad who was admitted to the hospital. The doctors put him on a ventilator even though his saturation was 97-100 on ventilator and around 92-95 on bipap at 60 ni mode. His carbon levels were at 56 and oxygen at 78 in his blood. Can you help me understand why they used the ventilator?

because with only ventilator the saturation is normal

Ive been having this weird shortness of breath lately, and its causing me to yawn a lot. I do feel a bit better after yawning, but its been going on for a really long time. I think its related to my allergies, probably from dust and pollution. Any advice on what I can do to get some relief?

My dad got diagnosed with COPD about three years ago because he used to smoke a lot. The doctors back then gave him these inhalers called Tiova and Foracort to help with it. But ever since, he's been having trouble with urination and gets really bad indigestion. A couple of months ago, he also started getting skin rashes on his hands and wrists. I did some research and found that Tiova has a whole list of side effects, and a lot of them seem to match up with what he's going through right now. Do you think he should stop using these inhalers?

Seroflo rotahaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.
