Hi doctor, I am getting mad day by day. I am recovered from covid 5 month back. My last ct score showed improving lungs infections but now I am developed phobia of spp02 measuring. I measure 100 times a day. I have 7 oxiometer meter in house. I remains normal when it shows 98 but I get panic and cru when it shows 96-97 constant for more than minutes. I am taking psychiatrist treatment and on medicine of paroxetine 25 mg and clonotril from last two weeks. It control fear for few hours and then I return back to measuring sp02. I am dieing slowly due to this. Please help! do I still need to measure sp02?

No need to worry Mr. lybrate-user, forget about oximeter, if you feel breathlessness then you see oximeter, otherwise forget about everything and lead a normal life.

Hi. You need a self time. Go to a nice place and rethink your life. You have the present moment. Try to enjoy every little thing. Think otherwise towards positivity. Feel your breath and be greatful for your. Try to pray and show gratitude. You have recovered and you do not need oximeter. Medicine will not do much help. Change your environment for some days and follow this and let me know.
