Omg you are a life saver doc ive been obsessing with my 02 sat reading because its dropping at 96 percent when it is just normal. I have health anxiety and i think hypochondriac, i panicked a lot when its decreasing thank you so much for this video, when im not moving my 02 sat is 98 percent, i guess this is just anxiety
@@DrStefanCristianStanel I am currently suffering from a chest infection and my oximeter blood oygen reading has been 88% for since. Should I worrry about it? I have been given some antiobiotc by my doctor and I am taking paracetamol 3 times per day to bring the fever down
Can the wave form be trusted on pulse oximeters to detect a heart problem. The wave form doesn't seem regular all the time and it's really scaring me. Yes I have asthma.
Dr plz make a video on this topic Why allergies and Asthma cause pains in body especially joints pain . I have allergic Asthma and having pain in my muscles and joints. My inflammatory markers are normal like ESR CRP. Why is this occuring in allergic Asthma?
If you have had your pulse oxymeter for a long time and it shows abnormal levels of O², it may also be wise to change batteries. Lately, I've had readings of between 96 and 98% blood oxygen levels, but this may be because of fluctuating oxygen levels due to my lung disease flare-ups
I asked my Chiropractor what would make me need to sleep so much….. She suggested I wasn’t getting enough oxygen. I bought a pulse oximeter, my ranges in the high 60’s most of the time. I’ve been sleeping all night long and pretty much 3-4 hours after a light breakfast! After a light lunch I am exhausted and I can’t stay awake again! While I am also hypothyroid for over 50 years now, I am sleeping my days away, I can’t get anyone in the medical field to really listen. At 74 I’m tired of being exhausted all the time, I’m even unable to do my house work I’m so tired! HELP!!! I’m type 1 diabete too but this is ridiculous! I also have a deviated septum and allergies so I’m fighting for air all the time!
I think you should see a doctor because anything below 95 is not good. With COPD sometimes 92 or 90 is ok but you are saying high 60's. Are you sure you're using it correctly? Nail varnish can distort readings, if your hands are too cold also, you should wait at least 1 minute before checking the reading. Try it on someone else if the reading is low like that for them too maybe it's defective. When my oxygen went low I slept a lot and when mine dropped to high 70's I was in the hospital and they put me on oxygen until it stabilized.
Hi Dr, What about when while doing normal activity I'm suddenly starting to sweat, shortness of breath,chest pain, pulse drops from 80-90 to 50 or under and irregular beats on oximeter chart (triangles+blocks), please ?
Do u have any recommendations for oxygen readers thats not expensive and reliable? I have a mi fitness band 7 that reads oxygen and i dont think its very reliable since it read a low of 82%-86% for 10 mins today im pretty sure i would be dead rn if it did get that low
I have COPD and i was in Hospital for 3 months with Sepsis 4 years ago. I was told that a reading of 88 was ok for me. But quite often I get readings of 71 or 75 around this number. I can then move the oximeter to my other hand finger and get a reading of 92. What is the reason for that ?
Hello doctor I just got released from the hospital because I had the flu and pneumonia they treated me but I’m home still recovering but my oxygen level reads still anywhere from 85-90 is that normal because I’m still healing ?
Can you please do a video on pulmonary hyperinflation, I'm suffering from this since I had covid and was told I have covid lung or asthma. I mostly have excercise induced breathlessness, it feel like I am breathing through a straw.
Thank you doctor cause every time I check. My oxygen and heart I get anxious

I really needed this video!
And I just wanted to add nicotine use and lack of exercise as a reason for a resting heart rate around 100 ( 4:54 )
no the person is okay!! 97 is good

I’ve been getting close to 100 on the beats per minute on the oximeter and was concerned. My oxygen is 96-97
Mine was 85 yesterday at my physician. I'm 73.
93 on my fitbit. Unwell after that. Horrible migraines happens at night.
Thanks!
It's a humble request Am waiting for next video on this topic plz

Is measuring the side of your finger an accurate reading? Side of the finger readings seem to measure much higher.
I have COPD and i was in Hospital for 3 months with Sepsis 4 years ago. I was told that a reading of 88 was ok for me.
But quite often I get readings of 71 or 75 around this number. I can then move the oximeter to my other hand finger and get a reading of 92.
What is the reason for that ?
How about the PI reading? Will it be accurate?
Hello doctor I just got released from the hospital because I had the flu and pneumonia they treated me but I’m home still recovering but my oxygen level reads still anywhere from 85-90 is that normal because I’m still healing ?
could be, but you may need a follow-up consultation after the discharge to see if you are recovering well
Can i use to check my blood sugar the oximeter?
My doctor say I should not use one or test for blood sugars but just get them done at the clinic when I visit
People tend to overthink the numbers which is only human but sometimes doesn't help, probably that's why they recommended that
Thanks doc for info Iàm checking my pulse rate every 30 minute cause I HAVE rapid beating
I have pneumonia I’m 61 I’m worried that my blood oxygen is only 90 .
What am I curios, My oxigen is 94-99, but what about the index? Sometimes it stays at 1.3-1.4
Can you please do a video on pulmonary hyperinflation, I'm suffering from this since I had covid and was told I have covid lung or asthma. I mostly have excercise induced breathlessness, it feel like I am breathing through a straw.
😂😂😂😂
