I'm experiencing this issue where my breathing feels low during the night, even though all my tests like PFT, echo, and TMT are normal. I live in a hilly area, and I'm wondering if that's affecting my oxygen levels at night. Could moving to a flatter area help with getting more oxygen? Is there a particular reason that might justify relocating?

My dad just turned 50, and even though he's fully vaccinated, he tested positive for COVID yesterday. His oxygen levels are reading 93-94, and since he has asthma, Im worried. Is it normal for his oxygen levels to be like this? Could it mean there's an infection in his lungs? Would doing some breathing exercises help him get his SpO2 levels back up?

I'm concerned about taking montek LC for an extended period. Could it have any negative effects on my kidneys, liver, or any other part of my body?

Long-term use of Montek LC (Montelukast and Levocetirizine) is generally considered safe, but may increase the risk of liver enzyme elevation, kidney damage, and other adverse effects, such as increased blood pressure, fatigue, and mood changes; regular monitoring of liver and kidney function, as well as periodic check-ups with your doctor, can help minimize potential risks and ensure safe long-term use.

Whats the best way to measure SpO2 for someone with COVID? I'm getting different readings on the oximeter. Sometimes it's 95 or 96, but then a minute later it can be 98. When I wake up, it drops to 95 or 97, but if I'm sitting properly, it goes up to 98 or 99. I'm really confused about how to accurately measure SpO2. I also tried doing a 6-minute walk test and within 10 seconds I saw readings from 95 up to 98. Is this normal?

all values are normal , don't overthink
