Does the #of bars on pulseox rhythm indicate anything?
Today I noticed that on my heart rhythm bars on my pulseox was only going down to 4-5 bars but usually it goes down to 2. This was during an episode of feeling light headed and short of breath. Is this anything to be concerned about?
What was your heart rate? Were you breathing heavy at the time? Did you just stand up? Seems it might be an indication of shallow breathing, maybe the heart beating fast but I'm not that familiar with the devices. I would refer to the operator manual to see how to read it.
