Don't panic about pulse oximeter readings!
Some reassurance about pulse oximeter readings (pulse rate and oxygen saturation). These numbers need to be interpreted in the right context, and they can change over time. The pulse can vary very quickly and increase due to stress, anxiety, anger, exercise, running, speaking, moving around the house, drinking coffee etc. Oxygen saturation (SpO2) in normal in most people, and generally a value above 94-95% can be perfectly normal. In some individuals with chronic lung disease, the saturation is usually a bit lower and your own health team can advise how to interpret that value in your case.

Thank you doctor cause every time I check. My oxygen and heart I get anxious
I really needed this video! And I just wanted to add nicotine use and lack of exercise as a reason for a resting heart rate around 100 ( 4:54 )
Omg you are a life saver doc ive been obsessing with my 02 sat reading because its dropping at 96 percent when it is just normal. I have health anxiety and i think hypochondriac, i panicked a lot when its decreasing thank you so much for this video, when im not moving my 02 sat is 98 percent, i guess this is just anxiety

It's a humble request Am waiting for next video on this topic plz
Can the wave form be trusted on pulse oximeters to detect a heart problem. The wave form doesn't seem regular all the time and it's really scaring me. Yes I have asthma.
Dr plz make a video on this topic Why allergies and Asthma cause pains in body especially joints pain . I have allergic Asthma and having pain in my muscles and joints. My inflammatory markers are normal like ESR CRP. Why is this occuring in allergic Asthma?
Do u have any recommendations for oxygen readers thats not expensive and reliable? I have a mi fitness band 7 that reads oxygen and i dont think its very reliable since it read a low of 82%-86% for 10 mins today im pretty sure i would be dead rn if it did get that low
How about the PI reading? Will it be accurate?
Hi iam 88/78 is that good. I have copd as well
Can you please do a video on pulmonary hyperinflation, I'm suffering from this since I had covid and was told I have covid lung or asthma. I mostly have excercise induced breathlessness, it feel like I am breathing through a straw.

could be, but you may need a follow-up consultation after the discharge to see if you are recovering well
