Answer by sandy7970
oxygen saturation of 88% isn’t good. not sure exactly what kind of surgery you’re referring to, but he clearly needs some kind of help in order to breathe better. does he use oxygen at home? hope so.

Give your answer to this question below!

“Oxidative stress may increase the risk of asthma, contribute to asthma progression, and decrease lung function. Previous research suggests that use of acetaminophen, which is hypothesized to reduce antioxidant capacity in the lung, is associated with an increased risk of asthma. We hypothesized that acetaminophen use may also be associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and decreased lung function”.
Could High Acetaminophen use be linked to Sleep Apnea as well?
