I'm trying to figure out if my lungs are healthy. Are there any specific tests I should take? I have an oximeter, and it shows readings of 95 and above. What do these numbers actually mean? I often feel like Im suffocating, which causes me anxiety and other uncomfortable feelings in my body. Can you help me understand what's going on?

I'm having trouble breathing and feel like I'm half yawning a lot for the past three days. I had corona about a month ago but don't have any symptoms of it now. I'm just yawning continuously, even after sleeping for 12 hours. I'm really worried and can't figure out what's going on. Can anyone help guide me?

probably you are not having good sleep. take sufficient sleep, avoid stress

Sometimes when I breathe in, I hear this weird whistling sound. It's mostly when I inhale, rather than when I exhale. Do you think that's something I should be worried about? I don't really have any other symptoms and I'm feeling pretty good overall, but the noise is kind of strange and I'm not sure if it's something that needs urgent attention. Is this normal or should I get it checked out?
