Brief Answer:
Please, make the question clearer!

Detailed Answer:
HI,

“I have shortness of breath ?.my unit from from 98 to 80 with moderate tests.” Are you talking of oxygen saturation here? This is not clear and I suggest you reword it to make it easier to understand and respond adequately.

“Test results, but I world to comb a mountain nd it’s painful.and dam slow.” Can you make this clear as well?

I promise to get back to you with a comprehensive and helpful response as soon as I hear back from you.

Until then, I wish you well.
