Hi Folks,
Had a minor procedure at the hospital the other day. Anyway, in recovery the oxygen saturation monitor kept going off when I starting dozing off. Annoyed the heck out of me, until that annoyance turned to panic when I started researching my readings. I noticed that when I was awake, my levels were around 94-95. But when I started falling asleep it dropped to around 89. Thing is though, I feel great. Heart has been checked, no breathing difficulties etc. From all the postings I have read on the internet you would think I would be at death’s door based on that reading. I do have sleep apnea, so I suspect that is a contributor, but can anyone lend some insight into this?
