Low Oxygen Levels, Has Anyone Not Been Able to Get Diagnosis

Posted by SusanEllen66 Susan McMichael @SusanEllen66, Apr 14, 2025

How can I have 02 levels that average 91, and nothing is apparently wrong.

I have had a checkup with my cardio, pulmonary, kidney and neurologist. They can’t find anything wrong.

I feel short of breath, I get clamy, I’m exhausted.

My brain isn’t getting enough oxygen, and I already have dementia…

I have had my oxygen levels drop to 70 when I recline. It has happened twice in the ER. I was told I had sleep apnea did the test I do not have sleep apnea. They did an MRA of my brain. All my blood is running fine still happens and I cannot find any Reason for this happening.
I went to have four hours of dental work done and it took the doctor to put me under over 45 minutes to get me positioned where they could work on me and keep my oxygen at least above 80 or above bizarre!!! I would love to hear somebody else. tell me they’ve experience Anything like this?

@klhilton ok. I put all my tests into chatgpt and got an answer that I sent to my cardiologist and primary care dr. Either way my issue is not just low oxygen which is intermittent, its also a vascular and hematology issue. I have a trifecta of events. One alone is nothing, but add the others and the oxygen drops dangerously., but intermittent. I have varicose veins and pfo and some blood counts that aren't up to snuff. I suggest getting your data from your labs and go back as far as you can to document your findings. Then use chat get to ask what it could be.
