Hi my friend...the oxymeter fluctuates a lot but your numbers are within normal range.The breathlessness can come from your anxiety. Is there any reason you are taking your

oxygen and heart rate levels?? :) xx

Hmm a little bit but it always fluctuates tbh

Heartrate and O2 are fine. You didn't mention a time frame with the heart rate. Are we talking seconds, minutes, hours? How often do you check your O2? What are you anxious about.? Stress and anxiety cause palpitations. Sending hugs.

Yep that's probably skipped bests or early beats. They're harmless but a nuisance. Did you get checked by your Doc? I understand beta blockers can still them. I sleep on my stomach on sit in a recliner to sleep when they p**s me off. I only get them lying down. Seeing a cardiologist tomorrow AM. Could be my inhaler that's causing them. sigh.....

Hello :-)

I do not think the problem is your readings it is your Health Anxiety which is obsessed over your heart and taken total control

You will look back one day and realise the years that you did not enjoy because Anxiety controlled your every thought and that will be your biggest regret

I know because I have done it

Please if you have not already sought help with this either therapy or medication then do so you can enjoy your life like you should be :-)

All the reassurance in the world will not take this away seeking the right help though will and I hope you ask and find it

Speak with your GP even if you have before :-) x

I've done this too. 24 years wasted to anxiety, doing nothing, still deep in it. The regret is endless and it seems hopeless to do anything now.
