I haven't got a clue, minkymoo, but I'd call the helpline - click on the red balloon - as I'm sure the BLF helpline nurses will be able to give you a better understanding of your results :) x

Sorry I've never heard of this, so I can't help you.

As initial has said, best to ring BLF helpline nurse.

My last one was a nine with a thumping headache along with general drowsiness a review of oxygen prescription had me feeling much better. Hope you feel better soon if your experiencing similar symptoms help will be on it's way.
