Translation: ''While I was at the hospital, the hospital staff used to check my oxygen levels every 2 hours. If my oxygen level was at 92 or 93, then they would give me medications that would slowly increase my oxygen levels. However, when I had to increase it, I used to take deep breaths which would lead to my oxygen levels increasing."
