Oxygen levels low.

I am checking b.p., h.r. and oxygen various times in the day as my heart rate keeps falling as low as 25 b.p.m. I am waiting to see if a pacemaker is going to be arranged. I am using oxygen but not prescribed. I bought it from Amazon during the last 12 months because I was desperate! But my readings confuse me. My heart rate can be at times normal but my oxygen level below 90. I just need to make sense of it. My heart failure nurses are in the picture but I find reading others comments so helpful.

Thank you for your comments. I think what worries me is that it drops when I'm sitting in a chair and others notice because of my pallor and my lips a bit blue. Last time I called 999 but while talking it went back to normal so because it was Friday night I stayed at home.

That they need to do home visits in future, that we will see what the monitor shows next week, then we will see what t the cardiologist says on the 22nd but if the heart starts racing dial 999 or if I have chest pain.

Hi sorry to hear you are suffering in this way. I am assuming you are in the UK and if so I would call 999 or at least 111 as a pulse like that is not good. I am not a doctor but know enough that here in the UK a normal resting heart rate is between 50 and 100 BPM. I just think you need to keep pushing for answers as I know the NHS can be slow on the take up of problems like this. Keep pushing and pestering them.

All the best
