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?

View allI'm experiencing some issues with my breathing. When I'm lying down, it's really hard to breathe and my chest feels tight. But as soon as I get up, it almost goes back to normal. I'm also having a weird cough that feels really dense and kind of stringy. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
take one tablet daily night once and apply the serum 1ml all over the scalp once daily

I'm having some issues with hilar prominence on the right side of my chest, and it's caused me to be considered unfit for a job in Oman. I'm pretty worried about it and wondering if there's any way I can address or reduce this issue. What steps should I take, and are there any treatments or lifestyle changes that might help resolve it?
Hilar prominence on a chest X-ray could indicate an abnormality in the lymph nodes or other structures in the chest. The hilar region is where the lungs' arteries, veins, nerves, and bronchi enter and exit. Both hilar should be similar in size and density on a chest X-ray. If one hilum is larger and denser than the other, it could indicate an abnormality.so consult pulmonologist or thoracic surgeon

I'm really concerned about my six-year-old daughter's wheezing cough. She's had it for the past year, and we've been using a Sereflo inhaler as advised by our pulmonologist. The dosage has been gradually reduced, and now she's only taking one puff at night. It seemed to be working better, but these last three days have been rough with her experiencing continuous coughing as well as vomiting. We tried giving her a Levolin inhaler like the doctor said, but I'm not sure what's suddenly causing this flare-up. We're still following the six-month treatment plan with the inhaler. What could be the reason for this, and how can we help her get better permanently?
