A pulse oximeter is a single data point of your health. If your oxygen saturation numbers look okay, you should still seek medical attention if you have other symptoms, such as high temperature, shortness of breath, headache or persistent cough. This list does not include all possible symptoms.
Correct usage is key to a trustworthy reading:
95% to 100% is an acceptable saturation range. If the number drops to 92% or lower, that’s a cause for concern.
People at high altitudes might have levels in the low 90s and still be fine.
They're like your brain's way of saying: you know what the world really needs? Nonsensical story lines that nobody questions and flying cars.
And even though we know they're absolutely bonkers and possess zero relevance whatsoever, we waste no time telling people all about them.
Sad fact: nobody wants to hear it. There is only one dream worth talking about, and that’s Martin Luther King Jr's.
Anyhoo, last night we had a dream where we featured half off tickets to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers live at the Department of Home Affairs. They weren’t even performing. They just worked there. Crazy, huh?
