A member asked:
What does it mean if i have high oxygen saturation but a low heart rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: It means that the hemoglobin in your blood is receiving enough oxygen from your lungs to be fully loaded with oxygen molecules. Additionally, your heart, for whatever reason, is beating slowly. Often, slow heart rate is a sign of health, particularly in your age group (37).
