A member asked:
Would o2 sats always be low with a lung clot? i have been having random sharp chest and upper back pains and short of breath for 5 days but o2 is good. could it still be a blood clot? i have depression and have been sitting around more?

Yes low blood O2 would be more common but normal blood O 2 can occur as well.

It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
