Pulse oximeter: Your oxygen levels are fine. Seven respirations per minute is on the slow side. Most healthy adults are around 12 to 16 respirations per minute. HOWEVER- I would not get concerned over one reading. Check your respiratory rate again. You forgot to tell us if you are feeling ill or are well. This site works best when that type of important information is provided.
