I've been having some breathing trouble lately, not too severe, but I've noticed I keep yawning every 25 minutes or so. I haven't had any sneezing or coughing, just this annoying breathing issue. Do you have any idea what might be going on or what I should do?

I'm noticing my oxygen saturation levels bouncing between 95 and 98, and sometimes they shift between 96 and 97. Is this something I should be worried about? Is it considered normal for the spo2 levels to fluctuate this way?

its normal

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I recently tested positive for COVID-19 but now I'm negative. I only had mild symptoms and my oxygen saturation levels are normal. Should I still go ahead with an HRCT? I'm not sure if it's necessary. Can you help clarify this for me?
