Question 1

My mom was treated for COVID at Apollo, and we asked the doctor to discharge her while she was still on 2 liters of oxygen. After a few days at home, I managed to reduce the oxygen to 1 liter, but now I'm noticing something concerning. Her SPO2 levels are showing around 92-93, and her pulse rate is between 105-120. Could you give me some advice about this situation? It has me a bit worried.

Question 2

I've been dealing with TB for about 4 months now and taking meds for it. My recent CT scan showed some fibrotic changes in my lungs, and I occasionally feel chest pain and some inflammation. Should I be worried about this or do you think it'll improve on its own? I'm also preparing for a civil services exam and they check lung function in the medical test, so I'm a bit anxious about it possibly affecting my results. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

yes,visit your foe appropriate management

Question 3

I've been dealing with some health issues lately and I'm getting pretty concerned. I'm 28 and moved to Bangalore about a year ago. I was diagnosed with Acute Urticaria back in July 2017, and it was manageable with medicine. But then, around May or June this year, I started noticing asthma-like symptoms creeping in, and now theyre happening all the time. The smallest amount of dust sets it off, or if the AC is turned off at work or home. Even laughing, which I used to do a lot, or sneezing, or talking fast triggers an episode. I've had heartburn a lot too and it seems to be linked to the asthma. I use Asthalin to help with the severe episodes. For the last couple of weeks, I've been waking up after only about 3 hours of sleep because I can't breathe well. I'm really worried about my health getting worse, so I'm wondering if there's any way to cure this. Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm really worried because I feel like there's water in my lungs. It's leading to really bad chest pain and pain in my lung area. I'm also finding it really hard to breathe. Could this be something serious? What can I do about it?
