I've noticed my SPO2 levels are usually around 92-94, especially after swimming, even if it's late in the evening. I have sleep apnea and I'm using the Foracort 200 inhaler twice a day. I used to have wheezing problems, but thankfully, that's not an issue anymore. Should I be worried about my oxygen levels getting worse because of sleep apnea? Is it normal for someone with this condition to have lower SPO2, and how much of a concern is this?

I'm trying to understand the normal pulmonary flow for a tall adult. Does having high pulmonary flow automatically mean someone has pulmonary artery hypertension? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate some clarity on this.
The normal pulmonary flow in a tall adult is approximately 4-6 liters per minute. High pulmonary flow can be an indicator of pulmonary artery hypertension. If you suspect pulmonary artery hypertension, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
