Good morning David,

I haven't had this done, but I wish you the very best results with your test. I'm sure there will be other members here shortly to talk to you.

Good luck.

Good luck with your test David. 👍 I've never had this done but it doesn't sound invasive. Let us know how you get on 🌺

I've had this several times David and it is to measure the amounts of oxygen and CO2 in your blood over a period of time. It is nothing to worry about.
