I have sleep apnea but sometimes during the day my oxygen level is 90-93%. It feels difficult to breathe. Lung tests came back normal.
The oximeter does tell me his oxygen level goes down during a seizure.. My question was is his heartbeat being in the 80s instead of 60s while sleeping a concern?
When I'm unwell with colds etc I wake up often during night feeling like I wasnt breathing. My oxygen levels are around 88% when I check and come up very quickly to 99% once awake. Perhaps sleep apnea? How can I make sure I don't die from this? Scary?
I was just diagnosed w/sleep apnea & was told my oxygen dropped to 68. I know normal levels are in the 90s. What is the effect of levels in the 60s?
Oxygen levels while awake: 98-99%. Lastnight I kept jolting awake from sleep & checking my levels & its been as low as 88% for seconds. Normally okay. But I have a cold/viral just now. Covid maybe? not tested. Are these low levels safe while sleeping?
