View Full Version : My oxygen levels
I'm in a spiral. I have developed an obsession with my oximeter! My pulse is not my concern. My o2 levels are. During covid and during panics my o2 has always been 98/99. This last week its been 96, even 95 at one point. I'm convinced something awful is wrong. I saw my doctor this morning. She also got a reading of 96 ... pulse/BP and listened to my chest were all perfect. I asked her about the o2 level and she said she wasn't concerned at all that it's in normal range .... but it's not MY normal so I am in complete melt down. My breathing feels off too although I know panic can do this.
Any thoughts
Why are you using an oximeter?
Why are you using an oximeter?
I had covid around 6 months ago and I stupidly thought having one would keep me calm during it! It did, but now it's become an obsession.
I know you're not about to do this, but you should just bin it, or get someone close to you to bin it for you.

Bin that sucka!
Agree with you all but with a 96 reading I'm too concerned
96 is not a level to be concerned about. Oxygen levels vary dependant on what you have been/are doing. Chuck it in the bin.
