Now I can’t get my finger Oximeter oxygen to rise above 84? I feel ok. It’s just everything I read says it’s dangerous!!!

Hi Maricopa, I really think that you need to see your doctor about how things are. An oxygen level of 84 is very low. Mine often drop to that level and I feel ok. I have oxygen at home to use as needed because of this. Best wishes.

Oxygen level is very low and you need doctor input. If can’t get gp appointment suggest you ring 111. They at least can send paramedics to check you over. IF they get same results as you they are likely to take you to A&E for further tests. Don’t worry about this. I recently was in A&E and was very impressed with how efficient and safe everything was.

Do speak to your medics, that's pretty low Maricopa. Could your oximeter need a new battery? I'm pleased for you that your temperature came down but do please call your doctor wont you. Peege ××I think you're in the US? It's odd to see Fahrenheit measurements here as we've been metric & centigrade for as long as I can remember!

Also make sure that your hand is quite warm before using an oximeter as a cold hand can and will give a false reading as blood vessels contract with cold temps.

Please speak to your GP or respritory nurse as that is low, let us know how you are getting on please. Have a lovely day and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxxxx
