Fourth day home, go from lying down to sitting up at edge of bed, coughing starts, which brings on headache, oxygenation level drops to 72 on 3 litres of oxygen.

Cardiologist, Dr. Ilir Sharka's Response

Hi,

I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to bronchospasm and bronchitis (bronchial secretions related to the inflammation).

For this reason, if your oxygen saturation drop frequently, going to the ER may be needed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
