I'm worried because my mom's oxygen levels drop when she sleeps. The doctors mentioned that her lungs aren't expelling enough oxygen when she breathes out. She's 67 years old, weighs 95 kg, and is about 5 feet tall. Do you have any advice on what we can do to help her?

Your mother's condition, known as sleep-related hypoxemia, may be related to obesity-hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) or sleep apnea, given her weight and age; consider consulting a pulmonologist or sleep specialist for a thorough evaluation, including a sleep study, and potential treatments like continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, oxygen supplementation, or weight loss strategies to improve her oxygen levels and overall health.

View allI'm really struggling with a bad cough for the past three days and have been taking marzon allerfix tablets and Reswas cough syrup, but I can't shake off the chest congestion. I smoke around 20 cigarettes a day, so I'm worried that's contributing to it. Is there a connection between my smoking and this congestion, and is there any way I can treat my lungs or cleanse them?
yes to stop smoking

I've been dealing with this persistent dry cough and throat irritation for the past four years, mostly due to seasonal allergies, but this year it's been different. The cough just isn't going away. It's like there's something stuck in my throat, making me cough non-stop for a couple of minutes until it clears up a bit. It happens every once in a while, but thankfully, there's no breathlessness. I've tried antibiotics, anti-allergics, antacids, and loads of other stuff, but nothing seems to truly help. What could be causing this, and is there something else I should try to get some relief?
you can take tablet montec lc for 1 week continusly

I've been dealing with bronchial asthma for a few days now, and I've realized that being around a lot of dust and my pet, who's shedding more than usual, might be making it worse. I've been using budamate 200 transcaps for a while and taking Montiar LC for my allergies. Just bought some piriton syrup and broncocin 200SR with an old prescription and started them last night, but I'm not noticing much improvement. I'm also anxious, which isn't helping my breathing problems. Could you suggest if I should switch inhalers or recommend an antibiotic that might help? Looking forward to your advice.
avoid dust and drink warm water , stay hydrated
