racing heartbeats, low oxygen and infection

Consider replacing the batteries if you are getting erratic readings and you use it frequently. I just did that and it made a difference. During current illness I've been using it all the time.
SP02
95% - 100% Normal
90% - 94% Mild hypoxemia (monitor)
Below 90% Low oxygen levels (seek medical attention)
Resting heart rates
40-60 bpm Well-trained athletes
60-100 bpm Normal (for most adults)
>100 bpm Tachycardia (high) – may require medical attention
< 60 bpm Bradycardia (low) – unless an athlete, may require medical attention
My resting HR the other night was 118! I breathed through it. Now that the acute phase of illness is behind me (I hope) heart rate back in normal range.

Just got it not long ago (Oximeter). Is accurate and steady for my husband but when I use it, it is all over the place. It has something to do with me I think. As to the numbers for heart rate and oxygen, I was more interested in what people with BE and chronic MAC or Pseudo etc consider THEIR norm and not norm. I know what the standards for other people are.
