I'm feeling really concerned as I've been dealing with asthma for the past 20 years. Right now, I'm under the care of Dr. Jafrey, but I'm also managing diabetes. I'm curious about how these two conditions might be affecting each other or if the treatments could be interacting in any way. Could this be impacting my asthma management, and is there anything specific I should be keeping in mind?

I'm really worried because I noticed something odd with the SpO2 levels after running. Normally, it's between 93 and 99, but right after running, it dropped to 80 before quickly going back to 88, and then 90. This person isnt very active normally. Should I be concerned about this sudden change?

yes it is , consult your nearby pulmonologist
