Oxygen Saturation
My oximeter reading has always been around 95-96. Only once in a while it touches 98. A few times it has come down to 92-93. 4 days back my reading was 96. Day before & today my reading is around 92. This has been the case for almost a month now.
My pulse also is over 100 at times. I am normal otherwise. No issues whatsoever. Took my first dose of covishield on 7th May.

1) Avoid measuring after running / walking ( except when you are doing a 6 min walk test )
2) lie down and put your hand over your chest
3) put your pulse oxymeter on your middle finger ( make sure you are not wearing any nailpaint )
