USING MY MEGA EXPENSIVE BLOOD OXYGEN DEVICE, WHEN I CAN GET A READING (ALARMING IN ITSELF, AS MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET A RESULT STRAIGHT AWAY) MYPULLSE VARIES WILDLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND, MY BLOOD OXYGEN LEVELS ARE IN THE 70% RANGE IN THE MORNING, GETTING A BIT HIGHER THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THIS IMPROVED WHILST ON ANTIBIOTICS. DOES ANYONE SEE ANY RELEVENCE HERE?

I do not know anything about the antibiotics, sorry, but my Dad had ataxia too and when he was in intensive-care they were monitoring his oxygen levels. They were really worried because they changed so much but my sister (who is a Doctor) reassured them that they were not to worry because people with ataxia are not good at keeping stuff steady. So do not worry about levels changing : )
