I had a "sinus issue" and got tested for Covid. By the time I received my positive report, I was full on sick.I had ordered a pulse/ox meter. A friend let me borrow theirs and luckily she did. My O2 was scary low and I was taken to the ER and admitted. ECG, CT scans, chest x-rays and blood work indicated a major Covid issue in my lungs. Thanks to the meter and early access to it, I am mending at home now with my oxygen when I need it.
I am never sick. I work outdoors on the property all weekend sometimes without getting tired. This Covid kicked my ass and did it quickly, I was almost too stubborn to go to the ER. The point of this post is for every person to order, buy or have access to a pulse/ox meter. Know what your lungs can do when healthy and what is abnormal for you.
My wife remains negative along with my son , son in law and 8 month pregnant daughter. So thankful for a friend that insisted I borrow a meter and everyone that forced me to the hospital. So everyone will now order a meter and get prepared, right? It was worse than expected.
