COPD oxygen levels

Oxygen levels honestly do NOT correspond to “COPD level.” It really depends on how each of us is able to efficiently get o2 from our lungs into our blood. Some folks with high FEV1 and pretty intact lungs have difficulty getting the O2 to transfer while others don’t. Conversely, sone folks with very low lung function still manage to transfer the O2 from lungs into their blood & bodies. The pulse oximeter is a very helpful guide for most patients in helping determine whether they need supplemental O2.

I purchased and wear a full time on the spot oximeter ring-the alarm goes off when I get below 88%-so I slow down and relax until it goes off. It's a Wellue and costs $159. I've had it for over a year. Also hooks up with your iPhone and records. The other ones are not set up to alarm and you have to wait for a reading. I found this by accident and am not a commercial, just a guy with COPD from covid.

@jerdonus I had the ring for years then it just stopped working. Now I have the wrist one with the thing on your finger; it was less expensive. I like both of them, but the doctor just looks at you like you're crazy.

Thanks for your response-where did you get the wrist oximeter? Cost?
Thanks

@jerdonus From Wellue it was only around 100.00
