Low oxygen, litte rest

2017-09-09 03:43:41
For about 4 months now I have had problems sleeping. It started as daily nightmares and not getting rested, but now its mostly just not getting good amounts of rest. I got an oximeter and my oxygen got to 73. I have an appointment for the end of the month for a sleep study consultation but should I go to an urgent care. Symptoms are getting worse and I'm barely hanging on.
