I'm feeling a bit anxious about my oxygen levels. After having COVID, I've noticed they fluctuate quite a bit. For example, when I check with a pulse oximeter, it sometimes shows 92 on one finger and 97 on another. What could be causing such a difference? Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal for oxygen levels to act like this after recovering from COVID?

View allI'm really concerned because I was a smoker for about 6 years, usually having around 5 cigarettes a day, but I quit almost a year ago because of this upper back pain that's been bothering me. The weird thing is, even after a year, the pain is still there. I've done checkups and seen a number of doctors, but they just tell me it's stress-related and suggest exercise, which hasn't helped at all. Now, for the past 15 days, I've been experiencing breathing issues, like when I take the stairs or even when I'm just sitting or sleeping. The breathing problems come along with the upper back pain. I'm really worried about these symptoms and would love some advice on how to get relief. What could be going on?

I've been noticing these black hairstreak-like things in my phlegm and it's freaking me out a bit. Plus, I've got this mild chest discomfort that won't go away. What do you think this could be?
The presence of black streaks in your phlegm, along with mild chest discomfort, could suggest a possible issue with your respiratory system, such as inhaling environmental pollutants or smoke. It's important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out conditions like a respiratory infection, bronchitis, or more serious issues.
