Hello
On thrusday I have taken my 2nd dose. Today I was checking my Spo2 value in right hand showed 93 and then move to 99 but when I checked to left hand it showed 82 for second.
And then I sitted and checked it was 99. I verified after 10 min walk it was 99. I hold the breath more then min. After still it was 99.
It is possible to get wrong reading while laying down on bed with hand. And that hand measurement was 82 for 1 sec.
Please suggest what need to do. Still after 1 hr spo2 is 99.
