Regarding Spo2

2021-12-14 05:09:59
Today i causally checked my spo2 using oximeter, first time the result was 94%Spo2 and 77 bpm, i got tensed and tried restarting the oximeter and then again checked at that time my results was 98-99% spo2 and 80-89bpm heart rate, i checked with left hand and right hand fingures. At that time also spo2 was 98-99% and heart rate above 80 bpm but below 90 bpm. Is there any issue or oximeter can sometime give wrong reading for sometime. As i do not have any symptoms of fever,cough or breathing issue. Only i am having runny nose and congestion.
