My mom had some fluid taken out from her lungs and the lab tests said it's not TB. But she still has this fever in the evenings, sweats a lot at night, can't really catch her breath well, and her heart's racing. Could these be signs of pneumonia or maybe even TB?

View allI'm really concerned about my oxygen levels; my SPO2 seems to fluctuate from 89 to 99, and it's usually more stable between 92 and 95. I also have frequent throat infections because of sinusitis draining into my throat and occasionally deal with upper respiratory infections. Could these issues be affecting my oxygen levels? My recent master checkup was normal chest X-ray, ECG, and echo all clear. Ive been using a fingertip home pulse oximeter for measurement. Lately, the throat infections are happening more often. What should I consider or do next?
Frequent throat infections and sinusitis can cause fluctuations in your SPO2 readings, especially with post-nasal drip affecting your airway. However, since your chest X-ray, ECG, and echo are normal, its less likely to be a major underlying issue. Keep monitoring your symptoms, and consult with your doctor if the infections persist or worsen.

I'm usually okay, but I'm experiencing some chest congestion. After walking just a few steps, my breathing rate goes up quickly. It gets worse in cold weather or during the evening, and I find it difficult to catch my breath. What could be causing this?
