Internal Medicine Specialist•Gandhidham

Hi dear friend.
I noted down your history and complaints.
As you said you have gastric issues and your hpylori is positive you should take treatment for that first before going towards homeopathy.
As per my own knowledge homeopathy takes much time to show its affect on the problem. My suggestion would be to take allopathy treatment first and be symptom free and then opt for homeopathy.
Thanks and regards.

Always gargle your mouth after usage of pump or inhaler gargling removes the drug deposition on tongue and reduces risk of fungal infection.
Candida mouthpaint for a week and oral fluconazole once a week for 4 weeks can help treat fungal infection.
Instead of dry powder inhaler, metered dose inhaler which has the mist instead of powder as the drug is there. Which might reduce the drug deposition in tongue but we can't speculate whether it doesn't.
There is no cure to copd and asthma....more

Is it normal for the spo2 level to drop before 95 and even 90 when the oximeter is placed on the toe and the leg is elevated, There does not seem to be any study on this, but I could be wrong.

If you are worried best would be to do an abg for pao2 which is most accurate.
And do cbc for hb
spo2 is not accurate representation of oxygen levels
if you are suffering from copd then 88-92 is ok level
do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment or if you still have some doubts you want to clear.
