I've been in the hospital for Covid back in Aug 2020 due to breathing issues. My oxygen levels are now at 93 with a normal pulse rate, but if I climb stairs or do any kind of activity, my oxygen level drops to 79 and my pulse rate shoots up from 128 to 135. I'm regularly doing breathing exercises and using a spirometer, drinking lots of fluids, and sleeping in a prone position. I'm currently on Nintena 100, Doxolin 400, Mucinac 600, Rantac 150, Azithral 250, and Ecospain 75. Can you suggest how I can increase my oxygen levels?

View allI've been spray painting a prop for only about 5 minutes and I think I breathed in some fumes. Now I'm feeling this tightness in my lungs and there's a dull pain on my right side that I've had for a few days. I read it might be lung inflammation that'll go away by itself. Should I be worried about this?
It's natural to feel concerned. Short-term lung irritation from spray paint fumes often subsides with time, especially if you're now in fresh air and staying hydrated. However, if the tightness or pain worsens, or you notice symptoms like wheezing or breathlessness, consult a doctor promptly.

I'm allergic to dust and use a Foracort 400 inhaler for my allergic asthma when I'm feeling breathless. I recently spent some time in a really dusty area and might have inhaled a lot of dust. Im feeling okay right now, but Im concerned. What should I be doing after being exposed to so much dust, even if Im not having any immediate problems?
Continue same medication.

I've been diagnosed with bronchiectasis and my doctor wants me to get some tests done, including Liver Function Test, D-DIMER Quantitative, and Prolactin. I'm a bit confused, are these tests directly connected to the bronchiectasis, or is there another reason for these specific tests?
yes they are related kindly proceed and do it
