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 because I've been having trouble breathing and I often feel uneasy when I breathe. Plus, I've got this cough that's been bothering me for a while. I know it's not tuberculosis, but what else could be causing these symptoms? Should I be checking for something else?

I'm really worried about my dad. About 70 days ago, he had corona and needed oxygen therapy at home because his saturation levels were low. For the past 13 days, he hasn't needed oxygen support, and his spo2 levels have mostly been between 94-97. But sometimes when we check, it shows below 90, though it usually goes back to normal above 94 within a few minutes. We're thinking about returning the oxygen cylinder, but I'm concerned. Is there a chance his levels could drop again, and should I be worried about it?

Continue oxygen therapy and saturated is monitored regularly.
