I've had a cough and minor fever that started about 10 days ago. I took some medicine for it, but my cough still hasn't gotten any better. The fever usually kicks in during the evening, but not so much in the noon. Lately, my cough has gotten really bad, and it's so intense sometimes that it makes me vomit. I've also noticed a bit of blood in the mornings after coughing. The cough feels like it's coming from my chest rather than my throat. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?

I'm curious if having gas can lead to fluctuations in the SpO2 levels on an oximeter for someone who's 24 days past their COVID infection. Should I be concerned about this or is it normal?

I've been having these asthma attacks more frequently in the past few days. It used to happen only occasionally and would go away with an asthalin inhaler, but now it's like 2 to 3 times a day. I'm feeling breathless and sometimes hear a wheezing sound. Could it be the dust I encounter while traveling that's causing this? Also, right after I wake up, the symptoms seem to get worse, with a lot of sputum and my eyes get irritated and my throat starts itching. What could be going on here?

Salbutamol inhaler and budesonide 200 sos is advised for breathing difficulty.

I've recently had an MRI and a sleep study, and my doctor started me on Leverage 500. They also mentioned using APAP or BiPAP if needed. I'm a bit confused about when I should actually start using APAP or if I should switch to BiPAP. How do I know which one is necessary for me? Can you help clarify this?

yes need to continue it
