I've been in the hospital for Covid back in Aug 2020 due to breathing issues. My oxygen levels are now at 93 with a normal pulse rate, but if I climb stairs or do any kind of activity, my oxygen level drops to 79 and my pulse rate shoots up from 128 to 135. I'm regularly doing breathing exercises and using a spirometer, drinking lots of fluids, and sleeping in a prone position. I'm currently on Nintena 100, Doxolin 400, Mucinac 600, Rantac 150, Azithral 250, and Ecospain 75. Can you suggest how I can increase my oxygen levels?

View allI'm having trouble breathing and I've already done an ECG, echo, treadmill test, and angiography, and they all came back normal. Are there any other tests or possibilities we should explore? I'm really worried because I still feel like something's off.

I've been checking my oxygen levels, and they always seem to hover around 94. That seems low compared to what I've read is normal, but I don't have any breathing issues. Just to give you a bit of background, I had a primary complex when I was 10, and a couple of years ago my pulmonary function test showed mild restriction. I don't feel asthmatic or anything, and I do breathing exercises like anulom vilom every day. My pulse rate is around 60, and I'm physically active, playing all kinds of sports without any problems. I'm a 22-year-old male and am just curious if I should be worried about the oxygen levels or if they might be connected to my past medical history. What do you think?

I'm curious about something that's been happening since I had Covid a couple of months ago. I've been noticing a drop in my stamina and I'm experiencing wheezing. It tends to get better when I'm active outdoors, but I still need my inhaler pretty often. Is this something that's going to stick around for a while, or can I expect it to improve eventually?
