Oxygen levels and Covid
They are stepping up efforts to monitor our temperature and oxygen levels. I haven't come close to a fever, my oxygen level has been hovering around 92 or so. Tonight my oxygen was only 88. Nurse asked if I felt short of breath! Yeah!!! That's why I requested they test me! Then Milo rolled over so she would scratch his tummy! Scene stealer!

Yes, they tested me late yesterday. Normal turnaround, it will probably be Monday for results.

@anniebelle
92 oxygen level is not all that hot--but 88 is bad! Please let us know how you are doing for sure.

Re: Oxygen levels and Covid
92 is a concern unless you are a heavy smoker or have a history of COPD.
The latest on fever is that its not a very reliable indicator of covid. Some people with covid dont have a fever. The shortness of breath is usually a more reliable symptom.
@anniebelle hope you feel better

I just saw a commercial for a news report here in Cincy. It said there are lasting effects from testing positive for covid19. Anything from heart problems to diabetes. Yikes!

Re: Oxygen levels and Covid
That info has been reported for months now. People who have had it are suffering many after-effects and doctors predict many new ones will be discovered as time passes.

I saw on the news several months ago, a YOUNG lady had to have a double Lung transplant, because of Covid-19.
