I'm really worried because my oxygen level has been fluctuating between 88 and 90 for the past three days. I'm 52 years old and weigh 95 kg, and my blood test came back normal. However, my CRP level was 35 mgL on April 13 and then went down to 8.60 mgL by April 27. What should I do about this situation?

I'm really worried about my mom's recent X-ray results. She's diabetic and had a heart bypass back in 2012. The X-ray mentioned something about fibrosis in both upper lobes, and I've been reading up on fibrosis, especially pulmonary fibrosis. It seems so scary since it's apparently incurable and can be fatal. I really dont want to lose her. Can you tell me more about what this means and what we should do next?

I understand your concern, and it's completely natural to worry. Fibrosis in the lungs can sometimes be related to conditions like diabetes or previous heart surgery, but it doesn't always mean pulmonary fibrosis or anything fatal. It's important to follow up with the doctor who can assess her overall health and guide you on the next steps for treatment and management.
