A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not particularly. These are well within the normal range of sleep related heart rates. Various metabolic processes are active during sleep and will speed or slow the rate based on circulating factors.
