My loved one had hip replacement surgery 20 days ago and now they're sleeping all the time with oxygen levels at 31 and pulse around 100. They're not eating anything either - should we be worried about these symptoms?

Post-hip surgery drowsiness and low oxygen need urgent attention‚Äîrule out infection, embolism, or drug overdose; shift to ICU if unstable.

My dad, who's 73, just started taking Torkast FX along with some other meds for the past two days. We've kind of forgotten whether he should be taking it before or after eating. The prescription is all smudged, and we can't make it out. Could you help us figure out the right way to take this medicine?
