Breathing issues while eating
Hi , my oxymeter reading is 97% . Is the oxymeter reading reliable? I read that on oxymeter it will measure co-mooxide level as well..and real oxygen level can be below 90 even 80. So i am feeling restless and anxious. I suffer from breathing issue (i get tired) while eating or talking. And after i wake up i can feel the air going through my nose and throat. But my throat feels like its swollen. I am taking Ayurvedic acidity treatment for last 2 months as i took allopathy for 1.5 months before that but didn't help me. The issue will recur. I have body pain and weakness. And have done chest xray , cbc, sugar, abdomen sonography, kidney function test 15-20 days before..its normal. Is it okay to rely on oxymeter reading in this situation?
