Oximeter is at 75. Is it hospital time?
Rash for about a month. Nothing else. Feeling fine . |

| It's must be wrong. Test it on others in your household. |

It’s not me. Other person in house. You saying a person at 75 wouldn’t be lucid? |

| Turn it off and on and retest as PPs said. If it’s truly that low, go to the hospital. |

Are they gasping for air? Lethargic?
I’d try changing the battery or test it on yourself, also. If it was truly 75, there would be other signs that would be concerning to you and you might think to go to the ER vs posting on DCUM. (Not being snarky—75 sustained is pretty low) |

Thanks. Not only are there no other symptoms even I’m very ambivalent. I will restart it now. Thanks all |

| Also, warm up their hands first. My friends dad had Covid and they struggled to get an accurate pulse ox. An EMT said to rub his hands to warm them first. |

That could be it to. It’s gone up to 88. And my reading was fine. Again thank you all! Good night . I hope. |

| 88 is pretty low. If you’re reading in the high 90s and the other really is 88 get to a hospital ASAP |

| I’ve read too many stories of asymptomatic folks dropping dead at home - that reading is definitely low enough to go to the emergency department and get evaluated. Don’t wake up to a corpse. |
