If is climb staircase or do some activities means my Oxygen level is coming to 79 and pulse rate 128 to 135. Iam doing breathing exercise very frequently and also using spirometer exercise.

Hi
Looks like you had severe COVID
Now you do have exercise desaturation which means that you have severe diffusion defect. You may need supplemental oxygen while exercising.
I would omit mucinac but continue the rest. Also I don’t know why your Nintedanib has not been updated to full dose.
Next Steps
You need a proper evaluation with a consultation and not just a casual one line answer like this.
