I'm having trouble with my breathing and it's been going on for about two months now. My chest X-ray came out clear, but I've also been dealing with a sore throat and no fever. My temperature is normal. I'm obese with a BMI of 34, and I'm really worried about my breathing issues. My SpO2 levels range between 96 and 99. My grandma has asthma, so I'm wondering if there's a connection. Im using the Seroflo 250 inhaler and Ezicas nasal spray, but Im not sure if I need to do more. Ive got a PFT report from a year ago, and my peak flow meter always reads above 500. Could any of this relate to my breathing difficulties, and what can I do to improve this situation?

My dad's got post-COVID pneumonia and his oxygen saturation is bouncing around 91-92 during recovery, but sometimes it dips to 84-85. Should he be on oxygen support moving forward?

yes

My dad's really struggling with his COPD. He can barely walk 20 meters without having trouble breathing. He's taking Trinose, Montelukast, Acebrophylline, and Finofixodine tablets, plus an inhaler, but it doesnt seem to be helping much. Is there anything else we can try or do for better relief? Its really worrying me.

I'm a bit concerned because for the past year, I've been dealing with excess mucus, especially in the morning, and it's usually yellow or gray. I did an IgE test and an X-ray back in April, and the doctor said it was a seasonal allergy, suggesting I take Montek LC at bedtime for a month, but I only stuck with it for a week. Occasionally, about once a week or even less, I get shortness of breath around bedtime. Recently, I got the Covaxin vaccine about five days ago, and since then, I've noticed that my blood pressure is a bit low at 10570, and I've been getting shortness of breath and a rapid heartbeat at times. Could this be from the vaccine, or is it the allergies acting up? I also experience some gastric issues, like passing a lot of gas. I work out almost daily and don't have any other health problems, my SPO2 levels are usually between 96 and 98. What do you think I should do for treatment?
