I've been having trouble breathing at night lately. It only seems to happen when I'm trying to sleep, never during the daytime. I've also noticed it gets worse when the weather is cold. It's starting to really worry me, and I just can't figure out why this is happening. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

My mom was on oxygen support for about a week, ranging from 284 to 55. Her HRCT score was 1825, which later dropped to 1525. When she was discharged, her O2 level was at 93, but it hasn't improved since. It even drops when she has other health issues like diarrhea. Any suggestions on a good treatment plan to help get her oxygen level back to normal?
