A member asked:
What could cause low pulse ox n high hr in a 65yo with clean test results apart from high sugar? non smoker but did smoke for 25years
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nobody here can say: The damage from smoking never really heals. The history and physical exam are far more important than the labs. While the smoking history and the age would be enough to lower the pulse ox, the big picture needs to be considered as well.
