Oxigen level not consistant
My mother is discharged from covid ICU 16 days ago. She was in covid ICU for 15 days. Her oxigen level is not static. Spo2 readings are mostly 95, 96, 97. In the morning time at bed when she wake up, it drops to 92, 93, 94. Rarely she reaches 98 or 91.
What she have to do to make it consistant above 97? When it will be normal? Kindly suggest.
In 3 ball respiratory spirometer, she can only raise one ball. She is not able to blow a baloon too.

The respiratory system and the lungs aur not still in a normal position to work that is the reason she is not able to write the 1 ball in the spirometer.
In my opinion try to consult the pulmonologist and assurance to be given to her and anxiety to be ruled out and some breathing exercises to be done along the treatment
