To Be Prepared




Disclaimer: This is just compiled information from various people, and based on common sense and personal experience. Not a medical doctor's advice, and it is not a complete list. 

Pulse Oxymeter

FIRSTLY: Buy a Pulse Oxymeter to check oxygen saturation many times a day. This is a small device with a slot to keep your finger in, and it will read your oxygen levels and pulse rate. Available in all medical shops. Around 3000-4000 rupees usually. 

This could save your life. If your oxygen starts falling, you know it is time to get medical help. For normal healthy people it will be around 97-99, lesser for asthmatics.

A delay in getting medical attention at this point is what they say causes a lot of death. 

Note: Just because your oxygen looks great, it does not mean you don't have Covid. It could just mean that Covid hasn't impacted your lungs. My brother had Covid, and throughout his oxygen was at a high of 98. 

Health

Stay in good health. This is your best bet towards better immunity. 

  • Eat healthy food, one that balances any current medical condition. Consult a good nutritionist. These people changed my life! Have been following the diet they recommended, for 2 years now. https://quanutrition.com/. Have branches across India, and teleconsultation.
  • Do some form of exercise, at least walking for 30 mins a day. 
  • Learn breathing techniques, Pranayaama. This also helps you calm down. Loads of stuff online. 
  • Try  not to fall ill with anything else, because you will have to go to a hospital. Be super-careful. Don't slip and fall. 
  • Use a mouthwash regularly, brush teeth twice. Could avoid a dentist visit.
