I've been diagnosed with a bulla in my right lung and have had a persistent cough for 20 days along with mild breathing issues. Should this be treated with surgery or medication, and what would the cost look like for either option?

View allI'm really worried about my mom's oxygen levels. It's been a while since she was discharged after having COVID and bilateral pneumonia. She's been on quite a few medications, including the steroids Medrol and dexamethasone, as prescribed, and others like Perfenix and Cardace protect. The thing is, her oxygen saturation stays around 88-92% when she's resting, which I think is okay. But whenever she gets up to walk or just goes to the washroom, it drops to 75% and then slowly comes back up to about 90%. With the recent reports showing her CRP at 21 and ESR at 37, I'm anxious to know when her oxygen levels might stabilize and stay up, even when she's more active. Could you help me understand why this happens and what we might expect moving forward?

I'm dealing with asthma, high blood pressure, and urticaria, and I'm a bit concerned about what's going on right now. I'm 39 years old, not married, and honestly, I've been struggling with my weight at 113kg with a height of 169 cm. For 7 years, I've been on Stamlo 5 mg and Cetzine, but recently I ran into some trouble with severe ulcer issues and took Esogress D for that. Just a few days back, I saw a pulmonologist because I was having a rough time with my asthmalots of chest congestion and coughing. They prescribed Formoflo 250 mg inhaler, Telekast LAB Flo SR 200mg, Ivepred 8mg, and Pantaacid DSR 40 mg. I even had to get nebulized for quick relief when I was in the hospital. But now, with these new asthma meds, I'm feeling weird. I'm sweating even with the AC on, my stomach feels uneasy and burns at times, and my hand is a bit shaky. Plus, there's this odd blood-gushing sensation in my left hand and leg, and I'm slightly giddy and finding it hard to concentrate. I did an ECG and echocardiogram two months back, and everything was okay, even did a TMT. Any idea what's going on with me?
Continue all the medications as advised by the physician.
