Q: if the brain does not get enought oxygen , can this cause ur heart to increase pulse?to send more oxygen to ur brain ?

: In that scenario, like in any acute medical process, it's possible that reflexive responses could result in the release of stress hormones that increase heart rate, blood pressure and blood sugar.

How do I get more oxygen to my blood, body, heart, and brain?

Can COVID-19 affect my heart rate? I tested positive 6 days ago. I would like to say the worst is over, but I have slight chest pains. My Blood Oxygen levels are between 96 to 96, however my pulse rate has dropped significantly to an average of 55.

Pulse OX and HR, if oxygen level is 98% normal but HR is 98 off oxygen, should the oxygen be used to bring heart rate down to 65, normal resting HR?

If someone is having a heart attack. Would the pulse oximeter show an oxygen sat level below normal range?

Can GERD give you shortness of breath? Sometimes when I check my oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter, my heart rate is fine, but my oxygen evels will change sometimes from 97 to 94 randomly, not sure if it has to do with my GERD symptoms?
