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 dealing with a bad cough for about a week now and I already took azithral for 5 days once a day. The thing is, for the past 3 days, I've noticed that my morning sputum has streaks of blood in it, even though the cough has gotten a bit better but it's not totally gone. Today, I actually felt a little dizzy while working. My appetite seems pretty normal, it's even increased a bit compared to before. Also, I do smoke quite a bit. Could you advise me on what might be going on or what I should do?
Vitamin D Absorption from Sunlight _Morning Sun vs. Evening Sun_ 1. _UVB rays_: Vitamin D is produced in the skin upon exposure to UVB rays from the sun. 2. _Morning sun_: UVB rays are more intense during morning hours (7-10 am), making it a better time for vitamin D production. 3. _Evening sun_: While some UVB rays are still present in the evening (4-6 pm), the intensity is significantly lower, making it less effective for vitamin D production. _Tips for Vitamin D Production from Sunlight_ 1. _Expose skin_: Expose your face, arms, and legs to sunlight for 10-15 minutes, 2-3 times a week. 2. _Avoid peak hours_: Avoid sun exposure during peak hours (11 am-3 pm) to minimize skin damage and skin cancer risk. 3. _Supplement if necessary_: If you're unable to get enough sunlight or have a severe deficiency, consult your doctor about vitamin D supplements. Remember to always practice sun safety, such as seeking shade, wearing protective clothing, and applying sunscreen with at least SPF 30.

I'm really concerned about this persistent cough that's been going on for quite a while now. The cough medicine doesn't seem to be helping at all. There are no other signs of a cold or anything, but she keeps coughing, especially during meals, while cooking, and at night. It's a bit confusing, and her eyes get watery, and there's itchiness in her throat when she coughs. Why might this be happening?

I'm trying to understand the results of my CT scan. It mentions a "small calcified nodular opacity" in the right middle lobe, which apparently measures 3.7 mm and might be a healed granulomatous lesion. There are also "few subcentimeter sized noncalcified lymph nodes," with the largest one being 9.1 mm in the AP window region. Could you explain what this means and what steps I should take next? I'm a bit worried about these findings.
you have some fibrosis , do regular breathing exercises
