Question 1

I'm having some breathing problems at night with shortness of breath. My doctor checked me over and recommended I take the tablet GLEMONTA and said I should take it at night. I'm wondering, is it okay if I take it before dinner instead?

Accepted Answer

take it after dinner

Question 2

I'm really worried about my dad. He's a smoker and he's got issues with sugar and BP. He came down with a bad fever and weakness over the last five days, but the tests didnt show dengue or typhoid. After admitting him to the hospital, he suddenly started having trouble breathing, was sweating a lot, and his oxygen levels dropped. The doctor had to move him to the ICU and put him on a ventilator. They said he's got pneumonia and his left lung is affected. They took a sample for a culture report, but thats going to take 35 days. He's been on the ventilator for the last 20 hours, but theres no improvement. His BP also dropped, but they managed to control it with a high dose of meds. We're all quite anxious and I'm just trying to understand what the recovery process might look like from here. Could you shed some light on what we should expect or do next?

Accepted Answer

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because my oxygen levels keep changing. Earlier, when I checked about half an hour ago, the readings were 97 for both my left and right fingers. But now, I just checked again, and I got 82 on my left finger and 89 on my right. Can you help me understand why this might be happening?

check whether pulse oximeter is default, if not your oxygen level is low put o2 mask asap
