Question 2

I'm covid positive and my SPO2 is around 93-94. When I do lung exercises, it goes up to 96-97, but then it drops back to 93-94. It's my 8th day in quarantine. Do you think it's okay for my SPO2 to be at this level, or should I consider going to the h...

It is generally recommended to seek medical attention if your SPO2 levels drop below 94%. Since your levels are fluctuating between 93-94 and going up to 96-97 with lung exercises, it indicates that your lungs are able to compensate to some extent. However, it is important to monitor your oxygen levels closely. I recommend you to continue with the lung exercises and monitor your SPO2 levels regularly. If your levels consistently drop below 94% without improvement, it would be advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Dexamethasone (6mg once daily) and Remdesivir (200mg on day 1, followed by 100mg once daily for 4-9 days) under medical supervision to help manage your COVID-19 symptoms.

Question 4

I've been dealing with diabetes and lately, I've been having some trouble with my breathing and my sugar levels are pretty high too. Is there any way to manage or cure these issues? I'm really worried and just looking for some advice.

Accepted Answer

A diabetic patient experiencing breathing difficulties and high blood sugar levels may be experiencing a condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This is a serious complication of diabetes that requires immediate medical attention. To address the breathing problems, the patient may need oxygen therapy to ensure proper oxygen levels in the blood. In terms of managing high blood sugar levels, the patient may require insulin therapy to help lower blood sugar levels effectively. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels closely and adjust insulin doses as needed. Additionally, ensuring proper hydration is crucial in managing DKA. It is essential for the patient to seek medical help promptly to receive appropriate treatment and prevent further complications.
