What Does Your Doctor Mean By Low Oxygen Saturation Levels Or Low Blood Oxygen Levels And What Can You Do About It?

low oxygen saturationYou likely heard the words “low oxygen saturation” and “low blood oxygen levels” from your doctor.

I hope you got the message that this is a very worrisome condition requiring immediate attention to address your risk of sudden death.

However, that isn’t the case for many people.

Oxygen levels are not very well assessed and can go undetected for long periods of time resulting in much suffering and harm!

If you ignore this dangerous debilitating condition you will suffer the harsh consequences:

  • short term memory loss
  • deteriorating eye sight
  • muscle weakening

Did your doctor tell you to “use it when you need it”?

I sure hope NOT!

Because, you are not likely to feel the danger of low oxygen saturation OR low blood oxygen levels!

Just because you can’t feel the damage, doesn’t mean it isn’t real!

Low Oxygen Terms Defined:

Low oxygen saturation:  Oxygen travels around your body on the hemoglobin of your red blood cells.  The amount of oxygen these hemoglobin can carry relative to the amount of oxygen they are presently carrying is expressed as a percentage.

Low blood oxygen level:  You can have low blood oxygen saturation without having low blood oxygen levels.  This has to do with your bio-chemistry but you don’t need to confuse yourself with these details.

 

 

Insufficient oxygen level is an immediately life threatening issue.

Supplemental oxygen use to keep your level above 92% oxygen saturation is one thing you can do to immediately address the danger and deterioration caused by this harmful condition.

Deep breathing might seem like a really good idea to address low oxygen issues.

You’ll be surprised to know that deep breathing might just cause WORSE delivery of oxygen to your cells!

The very LAST thing you want to do is make a bad problem WORSE!

 

Don’t believe deep breathing can cause serious health issues? 

Let’s talk about the mental and physical changes caused by carbon dioxide loss that can happen with deep breathing.

You can breathe yourself to breathlessness even if you have plenty of oxygen in your blood!

The excessive loss of valuable carbon dioxide can hurt you in many ways.

  • It causes significantly reduced blood to your brain, and will starve your brain of glucose.
  • It alters your hemoglobin chemistry causing oxygen starvation to all the organs of your body.
  • It will reduce your supply of nitric oxide constricting your blood vessels and your breathing!
  • It can reek havoc for bowel health.
  • It stresses your brain and muscles and other organs.

Sacred Breathing will prevent this dangerous condition from occurring, but it might require some professional help to identify the bad breathing habit that is robbing your progress!

How Do You Heal And Get Your Life Back?

You don’t need to understand it all.

Just find out how your breathing is making you sick and what you can do about it!

  1. do you know what would cause normal o2 sats sittting down, but they drop when I am up and moving around? It took years for the drs to figure this out, but after one had me wear the o2 sensor while walking around his office he saw the o2 sats drop as i walked. I also have central and obstructive sleep apnea, chronic broncitis and probable asthma. had pulmonary test done that said i had beginning of copd, but otherwise ok and I could stop doing the oxygen. I live at a very high alltitude and have noticed a huge difference after going to a lower altitude for 7 months then back up to the mountains, now I feel out of breath , mostly at night, but my sats are ok when I go to the dr. they wont listen about the walking around part and only test while im sitting down. sigh..hopefully I can find something on this site that will help, and ideas you have would be appreciated
    thanks

    1. Dear Lisa,
      I am so sorry that I didn’t notice your comment until now.

      Yes, I know what would cause what you describe.

      When your heart has more work to do it requires more oxygen. It only makes sense that an oxygen deficit will show up first while you are moving.

      It will also show up while you are sleeping. As your heart gets weak and the fluid accumulates, it pools in your lungs when you are horizontal. Perhaps a repeat sleep study is in order. I assume that you are being treated with sleep apnea equipment and that you use it every night, correct?

      Sleep apnea is a life threatening issue! You risk death every time you sleep without addressing your issue.

      REMEMBER! You can buy an oxygen generator WITHOUT a prescription. Get oxygen any way you can and it WILL benefit you in HUGE ways!

      Good luck!

      Many blessings,
      Carrie

  2. Hi, my name is Erica I’m 26 years of age & I have asthma plus Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia & was just curious about something. I decided to sign up for this because all the people I know that could talk with that dealt with lung issues have all passed away so I’m trying to find other means to reach out when I can’t get a hold of a doctor. But my question is if your oxygen level drops down to 82% like mine did earlier tonight & another night not too long ago & I put my oxygen on as my levels go back up to where they should be is it normal for me to get a headache after the fact my oxygen is going up to where it should be rather then getting the headache when my oxygen is that low?

    1. Hello Erica

      You sound like you have serious issues. Yes, a headache is a reasonable response to a significant episode.
