Hypoxic??.....: The most important issue is to be sure your oxygen level is adequate. Low oxygen levels would place both you and your baby at risk for complications including life-threatening complications. You should also be tested for alpha-1-anti trypsin deficiency, a form of COPD in younger patients. Smoking cessation is also necessary if you are smoking currently.
