Possibly: Hypoxia (low oxygenation) can contribute to the symptoms you have described. You should see your physician for evaluation of your symptoms so that the cause can be determined. Some possibilities include smoking, lung disease, carbon monoxide, and medications. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001435.htm
