I know I ask a lot of questions but Kirsten's (very good) article said we should if we dont understand...
So here goes.
My oximeter shows wildy different readings. Ive noticed when I
first wake up it can be 91, 92 then hovers around 93 or 94...
When I'm fully aware 95 96.
Moving about, working etc 96, 97, 98.
Should it vary so much?
I drove 200 miles yesterday, pur oximeter on for a time and or was 92 to 94
Same today driving from work to home to (3 miles) 94.
Today just got in 97 98.
Is that normal???
Ive also noticed it goes low after meals particularly biggish ones.
Any ideas if this is normal or not?
If I need oxygen.
I leave the oximeter on for 30 seconds to a minute sometimes it starts low and goes up. Sometimes it's highish 97 or 96 and guess down.
It has got a pi percent and just noticed the most recent reading of 98 spo2 was worth 4.6 pi. Earlier with 94 sp02 it was 1.1 pi.
