A member asked:
If somebody has shortness of breath, but a pulse oxi meter gives healthy results, is it still possible to be cardiac related shortness of breath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I am assuming you are referring to an oxygen saturation. All that lets you know is that the oxygen coming in is oxygenating your blood. Given your age, it seems unlikely you are having anything cardiac related. Looks like they have been looking into it further with the holter monitor and the echocardiogram. Trust your doctors, they are doing a good job!
