Spo2 starts with 94 and goes to 98
Hi doctor.
I have completed 30 days of covid. My first day ct scan showed some issues whereas My first last x ray report show normal. My sp02 is around 98 so far in last 30 days. But sometime when I measure sp02 in oxiometer, then as soon reading starts...it starts from 94 and then goes to 98 in 20 sec. So which reading is correct. My 6 min walk test sp02 is 97-98 always. Please suggest

Hi. I understand your concerns . That's ok . You should allow pulse oxyemter about 2-3 mins to record the reading. It's normal
