I just came across your site this morning because I had a scare and need emotional support. I am a 70 year old widow and live alone. Also, I have COPD. My oxygen dropped to 77 and I thought I was going to pass out. I have an oxygen machine and will make sure I use it when I am moving around. I will make sure it does not drop below 87. Thank you

64yo male. I quit smoking 34yrs ago. Quit vaping and smoking pot 25 days ago when a cold sent my throat irritation over the edge. Cxr 2 weeks ago ‘suggested’ mild copd changes. There was no comparison cxr. I’m hoping I don’t have it as my O2 sats are running 96+% consistently. Usually falls right on 98. It’s occurred to me that my susceptibility to anxiety might be causing me to hyperventilate which in turn is causing my sob. Either way it has put enough of a scare in me to leave the vape and smoke alone permanently. Thank you for helping and keep up the good work!👍

Thank you, Dr. - I have been prescribed a portable oxygen supplementation, I use the Inogen Rove 6 --- I used to just try to deal with my low oxygen levels. I have bronchiectasis and COPD. Have been diagnosed as having gram negative pseudomonas, which was causing my oxygen levels to constantly drop to low to mid 80's in the mornings. I finally had a borage of antibiotics that were prescribed while I was hospitalized, which helped alleviate the inflammation and stress it was causing on my lungs. Though, it was a hard lesson to learn, I am now actually making sure I use my portable oxygen, whenever my O2 drops below 88 - whereas before, I used to just fight through it. Additionally, I have a morning concoction of tea, mixed with apple cider vinegar, and manuka honey; and ensure I chase down the tea with blackseed oil, and oregano, and I feel like it's helping keep my respiratory system working efficiently and now I wake up in the 90's constantly. From what I understand, gram negative psuedomonas have a protective cell membrane that is hard to penetrate, and as such.. makes the bacteria hard to kill off. By making sure I use my concoction of Manuka Honey / blackseed oil / and oregano oil... it helps deteriorate the membrane protecting the stubborn backteria. Anyway, thanks for your videos! I hope what I've mentioned helps someone that is struggling with low O2 levels too.

[@pulmonaryrehab]

@firsttenor76, hello thank you for your comment! We recommend that Patients keep their SpO2 levels 92% or higher.

Luckily she has just had a consultation with a respiratory Dr here in the UK and she is now getting booked in for a CT scan.

This is such a good site. Can I ask you please about pulse oximetry when exercising. Some people say that standard cheap home oximeters aren’t accurate when exercising ie during motion. It’s suggested that we use much more expensive ones such as the Nonin Onyx Vantage to check SPO2 whilst exercising. Do you agree with that please?

[@suesmith5746]

The highest reading I have had in over 20 years is 92. When I had my Knee replaced and it dropped below 90 all the alarms went off. I said put a postit note by your alarm box not to worry unless it is below 85. I have damage and scarring in the capillaries which transfer oxagen from lungs to blood. Diagnosed by biopsy of all four lobes in my lungs. When I went to Tibet for my 60th birthday I had a blast, my whole tour group had patiently waited for slow Sue for a week in China. They were all suffering from the low oxagen at that altitude. At 16500 ft I had no difference and easily climbed the 450 steps up to the mt side palace of the Dali Lama. Later some of them said it was hard and they wanted to quit but slow Sue was nearing the top and chatting with Tibetans along the way. I will never be able to run or climb stairs quickly, but I still swim, sail,canoe, fix my own roof and cut up fallen trees after a storm. I drove 3000 miles last summer by myself, Our bodies can over time do a lot of adapting. However do follow the Dr's advice and if your oxagen is regularly below 97 or 98 talk to your Dr, you need to know why. I use a snow blower and clear 350 ft of sidewalk and 3 driveways. My neighbor shovels the steps for me. Do as much for your self as you possibly can but do it safely. My new pulmonologist who had a nurse who walked too fast but I tried to keep up because I did not know where I was going was shocked when I was breathing a little hard and she checked and my oxagen level was 75, I said ya it does that some times. Unfortunately for my case suplemental oxagen does not help. I have lived with this for 26 yrs and hope for another 26.

[@pulmonaryrehab]

Sue, we love your positive attitude and your determination! If your oxygen is 75%, how does supplemental oxygen not help?

He was a lovely Doctor, I wished mine was like him! I'm 35, I've had 2 heart attacks,2 dvt's, FVL & most days I feel like I need to lay down before I fall down. I bought an oximeter recently & it reckons my O2 stat is 90 & heart rate is 88bpm. My doctor sent me off for an MPS test, I'm still waiting on the results of that. But I don't feel confident they'll find anything because I told them before my last heart attack all of the symptoms I was getting & my doctor said he'd order tests after Christmas. About the 2nd week of January last year I had another stemi heart attack & when I got to the hospital, they weren't convinced it was a heart attack because of my age & the fact my pain was in the right arm, I literally felt like I had to beg them to do an ECG. What worries me is dying of a heart attack like my Dad did when I was 3 weeks old, he was in his early 40's. Also the way I feel every day, I honestly don't think I'd be able tell if I had Covid19 or not.

Thankyou very much for your clear explanations. I'm 76, 2-1/2 years ago diagnosed pulmanary fibrosis and I'm on oxygen use 24/7. As for lung treatment on "cellcept" 1000mg. 2X day, total 2000mg per day. 14-months ago "nintedanib" 100mg. 2X per day were added although diarreah got worse (5 to 7 times per day) and loss ofapproximately. 20 - 23 lbs. weight within last 6-months (presently 114 lbs normal weight was 135 - 138 lbs.).Nintedanib were stop 2-months ago and diarreah also stopped. Most concern is shortness of breathing is getting worse (as example, when I walk 10 to 15 steps, must take break and catch my breath which takes 2 to 3 minutes) and I'm on room oxygen concentrator adjusted at 4 litre. Questions I have is are there any treatment or excercises to improve breathing ??? Presently oximeter reading is 98 - 99 as 75-degrees setting back on bed but as soon as I move to get out of bed and walk 10 or more steps shortness breath start and oximter reading below 80's then to catch my breath takes 2 - 3 minutes then upto 90's.

My mom is old her.... ox level is 83...and she refuses to use oxygen..says she's don't need it....she is very sluggish....weak...stagers when walking without her walker...I'm her daughter I'm 72..3 other siblings and we can't get her to do anything a Dr. Tells her...she just got out of the hospital for low blood ox..they sent her home once it was 95....now she thinks she's ok...we are at a loss as she lives in a senior apartment By herself..we do all her shopping and cook meals for her..try to take care of her.but she's so stubborn we are giving up on her as we are older ourselves and have illnesses

Why with shallow breathing would the o2 read that high when during the day I have to work at it to keep it up(and use oxygen off and on) also,is 2% oxygen that dangerous to use?????? THanks

Well, I have been studying this myself, with help if internet, my different symptoms, pains etc. And then the next time I was send acute to the hospital, I asked them to please, please consider to look at Hypoxia and Prinzmetal Variant Angina. Well, after 4days there, they found that I have Prinzmetal Variant Angina (expected that) , so I found my own diagnosis. 5th or 6th acute hospital visit. So, it WAS the heart. About the astma, that is MY next project... I changed my doctor. But I tell You, I have met many of those. Why are so many doctors so bad. I wonder.

[@the_original_public_newsense]

Great info. In 2019 I started feeling uncomfortably short of breath and nothing I would do would help. Eventually I went to the ER. My sats were 95-96, which for me was unusual. They were normally 100. So I think I was feeling it even though it wasn't dangerous. For the past two years my sats have been declining to where at times it runs from 84-92 but comes back up quickly but on average, they're always below 94. I have a recurring significantly elevated Anti double-stranded DNA (I think that's how you say it) so I'm wondering if that can cause it. But it seems to be gradually getting worse. My doc doesn't seem worried about it. I also wonder if my average Heart rate variability of 8-15 milliseconds has something to do with it. Doc doesn't seem worried about that but it's gotta mean something.

[@mercedeswilladsen8930]

I am 20 years old with severe asthma, history of a collapsed lung, and no health insurance as of recently. I got covid over a month ago and bought a pulse oximeter. I wake up gasping and wheezing in the middle of every night and check my oxygen, the lowest has been 74, and the highest has been 86. However during the day when I am awake to use my inhaler frequently I don't let it drop below 90, as I can feel when I'm getting low and audibly hear myself wheezing. I went to the ER but they just said I need a sleep study and won't do anything. I have daily morning headaches and my entire body aches and hurts, especially my respiratory accessory muscles (I'm going to school to be a nurse). I also have severe anxiety and I am just afraid that my oxygen is staying in the 70s-80s the entire time I sleep and damaging my body with there being absolutely nothing I can do about it. I am tiny and weak, trying to get myself out of the poverty I was born into, all I have is my brain power, and I am afraid of hypoxia every night damaging that. I have already applied for medicaid and got denied. I am stuck and have no idea what I should do? The worst part Is that everyone thinks I'm overreacting and that I just need to push through it. They don't understand this happens every night and Is damaging my tissues and organs. I am in so much pain and distress over this. I'm about to just not use my inhaler and let my oxygen drop low enough to call 911 so that I can be taken seriously and receive SOME kind of treatment, but I know that is very dangerous so i would not want to do it on purpose, so I could just call in the middle of the night when my oxygen is in the 70's. But It's hard to not immediately use my inhaler at that point, I get panic attacks as well with tremors and chest pain. Please help if you can!! 🙏

I am a 73 yr. old woman with life long severe asthma. My lung specialists tell me I'm the second worse case they have seen. I'm much worse now, after they said that 7 yrs. ago. I now meet their worse case. I am on O2 but I take it off to go to the bathroom because it's a hassle to wrestle with the long tubing to close the door. By the time I get back to my chair in the room next to the bathroom, my S.A.T.s are 85. I put on my O2 after getting back to my chair and my S.A.T.s go back up to 95. With O2 my normal readings are 94 to 95. If I talk a lot, which I have to in my video presentations, I get very dizzy without my O2 on. So, now, I find I have to wear it while on camera, and I don't like doing that. My question is 2 fold. Sometimes my heart rate while resting, will go to 31. Should my heart rate ever drop to 31 and into the 40s? It will stay there for a few minutes before it will come back up. Secondly, what should my Oxygen compressor be set at? Right now, it's at the lowest setting. When I was put on it last year, I never had my O2 go down into the 80s like I do now it went to 90 back then. Should it be increased? I won't go to the doctor very much because I'm on steroids a lot and that means my immune system is gone and doctor's offices have all kinds of germs there from all the sick people. So, I don't go.

Thank you. I’m 70 living in Mile high Denver, Colorado with 91.8 oxygen saturation level. I wonder if altitude is a variable that gets factored in here? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😳😳😳😳😳😳😳🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@pulmonaryrehab]

Great question! As altitude increases, the air pressure drops, which means there's less oxygen available in the air. This can lead to lower blood oxygen levels, a condition known as hypoxemia. Your body may respond by increasing your breathing rate and heart rate to compensate. Also, your pulse oximeter might show lower readings at high altitudes. This is normal, as the reduced oxygen levels in the air mean there's less oxygen available for your body to absorb. People living at high altitudes usually adapt over time, but it can be a challenge for those not used to it. I hope this helps 😊
