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 using an asthalin salbutamol inhaler for the past 20 years. I'm wondering if there's any other option available that's similar. Also, how can I monitor or check my asthma attacks better?
If you're looking for alternatives to Asthalin (Salbutamol), your doctor may prescribe other bronchodilators like Levalbuterol or Formoterol, or combination inhalers that include an inhaled corticosteroid. To monitor your asthmatic attacks, consider using a peak flow meter, which measures how quickly you can breathe out air, and track your readings to identify patterns and potential triggers

I recently got an HRCT scan of my chest, and the results showed minimal ground glass haziness in the posterior parts of both lungs, especially in the dependent zones. It also mentioned some small lymph nodes near the trachea and a few other places. I'm trying to understand what all this means. Should I be worried?
minimal haziness and small lymph nodes, especially if not associated with other symptoms, often do not indicate serious problems but should still be monitored. If you have any chronic symptoms (like a cough, difficulty breathing, fever, or weight loss), or if the doctor suggests any follow-up, its important to follow their advice closely.

I'm having a tough time with a dry cough for about 34 weeks now, and I've tried all sorts of syrups like Cofdex and Honitus, but nothing's helping. It's gotten to the point where I'm having really bad headaches. Could you please provide some advice on what I should do next?
use SYP ascoril 5ml thrice a day
