Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I THINK I NEED HELP. I have had my oximeter on most of the day since noon, it is 3:30pm now. I have #4 liters going for some time now, and finding today it is NOT ENOUGH. What next? If I sit and don't move and watch tv, it stays at 95, no higher, if I get up and walk in the kit. to heat coffee, it drops immediately to 85. or 80. what gives? This is absolutely crazy. If I put it up on #5, is that a problem. My pulmo is out of the country for the month of May, maybe I should call his office on Mond to see if I can see someone. It is such an effort to go there as it is WAY downtown, and hard on me. Love, Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Lou, When you are up and moving, turn it up. I would definatly call his office on Monday. Dropping saturation with exertion is an important development. The docs need to know. Call Monday. Enough excitement for you. This has not been a good few weeks. Time for some "stable" time.
