I had no idea where to post this but my oxygen level has only been at 85 for a week. I dont have Covid or any lung issues. I'm so tired all the time!

85 is to low. You should go to the ER. They can give you test and oxygen while they are waiting for your test results.

A lot of things can lower oxygen and if your hands are cold or painted it can mess with the reading. But 85 is too low. Er.

Do you think that you have 85% ( SpO2) oxygen saturation? Have you turned blue? If so, you need to go to the ER.

Do you think you may have misread the readings and thinking that your pulse at 85 beats/min as your oxygen saturation (SpO2)? Do you have an oximeter at home to check this out?

Get to the ER fast!!! Last time I went to the ER they were shocked when I was at 90.

I've been using my oximeter at work. I was told to take deep breaths. This morning my oxygen is at 95. They told me to keep tabs on it from now on and that they may put me on oxygen

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
