I am doing that. So far not much coughing, mostly dry but some stuff coming out here and there. The worst part is the back pain, it this really bad, then also tightness in chest, back, headache and runs etc. And fatigue and achy now. my pulse ox is usually 97-99 heart rate 70-95. Bp is usually 120/ 80 but yesterday was 130’s. Just wondering if I should start losartan again maybe. Today po 80 at first so I was scared but it went quickly to 98 so I think I didn't have my finger in right or it was a mistake maybe or the battery. I hope I don’t need a new battery.

What was your mom’s pulse ox when she went to hospital? They told me below 94 for a while come back in.

Yes I know but most don’t get to the pneumonia stage maybe. And I have a lot of other serious conditions. I talked with my family and they thought maybe a short walk is a good idea. My brother said because in the 1918 flu they had people do it and outdoor air has anti infection qualities which help your lungs.
