Went to emergency room , I know a normal heart rate is 60-100 I have a oximeter to help me keep calm. From anxiety and panic attacks , my pulse rate would go from 36& up emergency room did x-ray and lung and a ekg and said I'm healthy and perfectly fine should I be concerned and I've all struggled with shortness of breath but my oxygen is 98

Sounds like all anxiety. You went to the hospital and was medically cleared. Stop second guessing the doctors. If you aren't going to believe them, don't go to the hospital and run your own tests on yourself. Anything above 90 is good for o2. I know it's hard to except but if you keep questioning the doctors how are you going to ever get over your health anxiety. Put away the oximeter away I made the same mistake and I went to the ER 3 weeks ago and they said those aren't accurate and especially for continual monitoring. I haven't touched mine in 3 weeks. You need to trust your body's main objective is to keep you alive, it's in its best interest.
