I've been keeping track of my blood oxygen levels ever since I had COVID about six weeks ago. Lately, I've noticed that after climbing stairs, my oxygen levels sometimes drop to around 93-94 for a bit, and it takes about a minute to go back up to 96-97. I'm a bit concerned because I never really checked these numbers before having COVID. Should I be worried about this change in my oxygen levels, or is this just a normal recovery process? When I'm walking or doing the 6-minute test, my oxygen levels are fine at around 96-97, and theyre good when I'm sitting too, around 97-98. Does this sound alright to you?

View allMy dad's been dealing with night fevers and body aches for over a month now, like 40 days, and we've done all sorts of tests but haven't found anything concrete. His chest X-ray didn't show much, and the sputum report came back normal. The doctor mentioned that in the second stage of TB, changes can be subtle and hard to catch on X-rays and sputum tests, so he started the second line of TB drugs based on a CECT Scan. I've consulted a few other doctors, and after looking at the report and scan, they're suggesting it might be a reactivation of tuberculosis. Could you take a look at this and tell me if this report is solid enough to confirm TB?
yes through cect lung ,we can detect tuberculosis

I've been dealing with a really bad cough lately, and I've noticed it's sometimes causing strain on a major vein in my left leg. It even hurts occasionally. Should I be worried about this?
If the pain in your leg is mild and seems related to the coughing itself, it may be a temporary strain or discomfort. However, if the pain is severe, accompanied by swelling, redness, or other unusual symptoms, it's important to seek medical advice to rule out more serious conditions like varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis.

I'm a bit concerned about something. Last year, I had Covid-related pneumonia and since then, I've been feeling fine with no breathing problems, but there's something odd going on. Whenever I get a chest X-ray, the results mention that both my hila are congested, even though I don't feel congested at all. I occasionally have a light, dry cough, but nothing major. Do you think I need to worry about this or get some kind of treatment?
until you have symptoms don't do anything
