I'm a 46-year-old male with a history of stents and recent syncope episode. I was taking Brilinta, but switched to Plavix three weeks ago, which has caused dizziness, nausea, and low blood glucose. I'm experiencing short episodes of sharp chest pain and want to know if I can switch back to Brilinta and the best way to do it. Additionally, I have a loop recorder implanted and want to know if someone monitors it 24/7 and will notify me if something unusual is detected.

I have a pulse oximeter for my son who has asthma, but I used it for myself because I was having trouble taking deep breaths. My readings vary from 92 to 99, usually hovering around 95/96. Is this normal, and at what point should I be concerned about the readings?

I have a bruise on my arm after getting blood drawn 3 days ago. It was hurting on the day of the procedure. Should I be worried about any symptoms or side effects, and when should the bruising go away?

I suffer from Allergic Asthma and have been undergoing annual routine CT scans of the chest after my pulmonologist noticed some nodules about 3 or 4 years ago. Everything has been stable except for a new cluster of small nodular densities in the left lower lobe measuring up to 5mm. I'm attaching the CT Chest Report for your review. Could these nodules have developed from a bout with COVID that I was not aware of?
