Until I started looking back through the IG, I'd forgotten that she hashtags asthma. I am extremely skeptical. I have never heard the wheeze or the asthma cough and am very personally familiar with both.
Also, seconding what's being said about inhalers doing a number on your HR.
EDIT: I just hit the pulse ox video in my archiving spree. I have the same one. It's medical-office-accurate when used correctly, but you can throw the thing off in all sorts of ways-- I mean, I've done it for fun! [I am stuck inside a lot; please don't judge!] I imagine anyone reading here can guess ways to do that, so I'm not going to provide instructions. But, yes, can confirm that you can make that particular pulse ox "perform."
Here's the pulse ox she's using.
What I started with: Stethoscope, sphygmomanometer or a sphygmomanometer for the lazy, pulse oximeter, reflex hammer, tuning fork, a pen light, notebook, Maxwell, pocket medicine, clipboard, 48 pens (of which I somehow only have 2 left), and finally a pack of decoy pens to hand out to people that need to "borrow" a pen but never give back.
Seriously where do all of my pens go??? It turns out half them went into my gf's bag x(.
What I was given or picked up along the way: scalpel, needle drivers, tweezers, scissors, various types of vicryl, bandages, gauze, alcohol wipes, surgical lube (that I took from the hospital when no one was looking ;) ), and a pocket CPR mask. I took a bunch of normal saline and IV kits as well but they don't fit in the bag.
Oh! The occupational therapist took it yesterday with one of those things and at one point after working out it was about 89 then she told me "This shouldnt be 89 after just walking, BREATHE DEEPLY!" She actually said it loudly, to breathe, so I breathed and it went up higher..not sure what that was about. Most of the results came back about 125 to 150 or something?
Is this what it is? https://www.amazon.com/Acc-Rate-Fingertip-Saturation-batteries/dp/B00SCPB9KU/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1500514694&sr=8-1&keywords=finger+pulse+ox
Do you think there is a correlation between vo2 max and sp02 levels? Because I took a vo2 treadmill test a year ago and my results were quite poor. Anyway, I noticed this oximeter is currently on sale at Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SCPB9KU Would this be useful?
Also, could you ever recommend a CPAP machine based solely on oximetry results? Or would you always want a sleep study first before recommending one? If my oximetry results were poor enough, I'd be attempted to go out and buy a used/rent a CPAP machine and try it out to see if my bruxism goes away. I'm a 29 male, not overweight, do not snore -- not sure I would fit the classical definition of sleep apnea -- but wonder if a CPAP could alleviate some of my symptoms nevertheless. I do feel like I'm a "shallow breather." My yoga instructor of the past commented on this.
