HELP-- daughter oxygen on the oximeter measuring 89

[terart]

I am sorry I am putting this out late...my daughter texted me at 10pm tonight and I never saw it and now can't get hold of her or her husband by phone.

Yesterday she had level at 94, last night and today 92 and today 89. She was tested for COVID Sunday and she got back Negative this afternoon but now I am very worried.

What should I do?

[ZinGirl]

Prayers up. A mother will always be a mother...and thank God! I pray all is ok and that your only difficulty will be remembering to update us :). God bless you. Know that many know are praying.

I hope she’s better soon!

My Dad is in his 80s and doesn’t need this yet, but figuring
early this year that gold was going to go up, and the value
of my Dollars go down and that things might get harder to
get from China with the Plandemic and all, I got one of
these to have on hand. Mine came from a previous Amazon
seller, but this model pictured is what I got, and it works
quite well: Dedakj Oxygen Bar, with Ion generation and
Nebulizer, and it came with all the gear to use it. Shop around.

Here’s a battery powered portable:

Dad didn’t need this either, but I was curious about such things...
It does what it says. ;-)

Dad also takes Quercetin, zinc, D3, and C as a prophylactic.

And he had the problem of his blood oxy level dropping
below 90% when masked too long in our Commie Governor
mandatory mask state. Hypercapnia, it seems.

This device below seems to have fixed that problem,
for when he’s forced to be masked. It works, but it
could be done SO much better by an enterprising
American company.

I’ve added negative ion field generation, as well as
carbon filtration to ours. Next up is TiO2 UV-C Photo-
catalytic germicidal filtration, just because I think
I can, and it might be fun. ;-)

If they are going to make us wear masks, they might as
well be effective, and deliver plenty of cleaner air out
of our shirt pockets, than anyone with regular masks is
getting. And it’s not that I’m all worried about covid-19.
I just don’t want the stupid masking itself to make us sick.

I hear people are getting yeast infections on their faces
now, from being masked all day. I imagine there’s plenty of
that being blown around now, too, and the continuous airflow
of a powered mask resists getting damp and growing stuff so
effectively.

Another seller has an aluminum case version but with a
cheesier filter that you can check out, and there are lots
of chunky versions with everything built into the mask.
The style above seems to have the best filter for <$100.

I know most of this is not timely, or perhaps useful for
your daughter, but I thought others might benefit.
Prayer sent, instead.

yes, were they using one of those cheap oximeters that clamp onto your finger? if so they are noted to be unreliable and a reading of 94 to 89 is not to worry

[TECTopcat]

people on here are assuming things that may or may not be true- a reading below 90 is not an emergency unless it was diagnosed in doctors office. the finger clamp on type for home use often read low Here are typical readings from an actual reviews on the highest rated home use oximaters sold on Amazon:
Wife’s readings - This meter - 85; hospital meter - 92
My readings - This meter - 90; hospital meter - 97

A visit to a *large* hospital’s ER might be worthwhile.

[ConservativeMind]

She needs to see a doctor. The fever is another bad sign.

[Nifster]

Depends on make and mfg

[Nifster]

Also if a parent has concerns about a sick child asking for help here is pointless call the pediatrician or go to the ER

[Guenevere]

Have you heard from your daughter yet?

[Wuli]

The Wuhan Virus is certainly not the only cause of low O2 levels.

Best wishes, I hope she is Ok and you can give us an update.

My nurse friend who worked from the beginning of the outbreak with Covid patients at a local hospital told me that convalescent plasma “stops it in its tracks”.

She also said that most of the people who died in her hospital were overweight and Hispanic whose diets were made up of mostly beans, rice, and corn.

Praying for your daughter.

Took a sleep study test for low oxygen. Not snoring. They found my oxygen level dropped to 79 when I slept. I even use it sometimes during the day when I am relaxing. She needs to go to the ER.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Well 90 or above is normal so 89 is only one point off.

[terart]

Thank you for all your input! I truly love this forum of wonderful people!

My daughter went and had her oxygen tested today and on their monitor it was in the 95 range so I don’t know if it is because we started the supplements quick enough and we are seeing some improvement or if the monitor is off or maybe anxiety was affecting the results. Either way, she is resting and sticking to the regimen I sent her and hopefully in the next several days we will see more improvement.

She still is having the fever on and off and I kind of doubt at this point the test results (of negative) so we are all treating it as positive to be better safe than sorry.

Thank you for all jumping on and giving your input! Especially with the state of mind I was in when I saw her text. I know you all aren’t doctors but sometimes you may have info that can help another and that can be just as valuable...I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH!

[GnuThere]

Sounds encouraging! 👍🏻 Tell her not to mess around if she’s getting worse.

[Guenevere]

Lovely response!...Thank you!....Glad for the happy news!

[JBourne]

so how is she now? sounds like false alarm based on those diy oximeters

[terart]

She said she is heading to emergency room shortly...terrible coughing and out of breath...pulse ox ranges from 89 to 94 so who the heck knows what her oxygen levels are. Hopefully hospital will give her more accurate numbers.
