So, for some reason, when my oxygen level is checked on my finger, it reads very low...in the 80's. When it is read on my forehead, it reads much higher- in the high 90's.
This has only been the case just recently. I'm wondering if it's from the vasculitis or??
Is this with a pulse oximeter? The clip thing they put on your finger? They are notoriously inaccurate as they have several limitations. Poor circulation is just one thing that will lead to a low reading - do you also suffer from Raynaud's with your vasculitis? It is also something that may happen with vasculitis I believe but I am not an expert.
Yes, it is the pulse oximeter. I guess I was concerned with the low reading because it had always been accurate even with Raynauds. I'm just trying to stay on top of my symptoms especially when they are new. I have another appointment soon. I'll address it then. I like to go to my appointments with as much info as possible so that nothing is dismissed or overlooked. Thanks for your reply!🙂

It could suggest poor circulation n the fingers ? Have you discussed this with your doctors?
