[|Human|] My oxygen is running at 82-86 daily, I am always tired and get very fatigued instantly. I have been checked by heart doctors and pulmonary doctors. They tell me there is nothing wrong and live with it. I don t call this living. I am 57 years old , 5ft 6in. tall and weigh 210. I have gained 15 pounds this winter, I have no energy to do anything. 2 years ago they put me on a C-PAP thinking that would help,still nothing, was rechecked this month with no new results. am getting very annoyed. Did a stress test. saying I have low level o2 when I walk slow and medium but when I work harder the o2 improves. What could be causing this. I need answers.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of bronchitis, inertial lung disease (OLD) and Pulmonary embolism is more. So better to get done fresh reports like 1. PUT (Pulmonary Function Test) for the diagnosis of bronchitis. 2. HRC (high resolution CT =thorax for the diagnosis of OLD. 3. CT Pulmonary Angiography to rule out Pulmonary embolism. Oxygen saturation of 82-83% is considered low and should be evaluated to rule out above-mentioned causes. Better to first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
