Hi, just wanted to let u know ur not alone on the high sats part, my sats never drop below 97% in fact at the beginning of December I had a really severe attack and my sats from the finger thing was 100% it makes it very hard to get paramedics etc to take u seriously especially if like me u rarely wheeze that's a great combination, not! Xx

This happens to me! I never used to have much of a wheeze either so it would be difficult to get taken seriously. To the point where once it got quite dangerous because the dr just didn't realise.

Now I'm relieved because I'm noisier and have had a lot of admissions in the past year it's written into my notes and action plan about my o2 levels and a consultant has reassured me I'm not crazy.

I'm not the only one then it nice to hear other people have the Same problem don't mean it detrementally tho, just wish doc/consultants new their jobs and treat patient instead of figures

My sat same usually good too. Used to wheeze a lot but not so much now - very annoying but thankfully this has not caused problems for me.
