If someone has a portable pulse oximeter, can you carry it to the gym and measure your oxygen saturation after a hard work set, you know when you are kind of breathless and hearts beating hard. It would be cool if you could do one after a squat set, and one after a row set.



I am having breathing problems lately (6 months) and doctors cant figure out why. My o2 saturation comes out normal but they only take it when i m sitting down. today i tried to run a bit on treadmill and within a minute of running at 6 mph my hear rate was 193 bpm, i had severe shortness of breath, profuse sweating. Felt like my chest is too small for my lungs to expand. I dont know what it is. I havent abused drugs (always 300mg), until the last few months where i did kind of abuse it, but only for a short period of time (12 weeks).


Thank you

What sort of tests did the doctor run on you? Just wondering if they did a stress ekg and an echo perhaps.

 

[bhumik]

no they havent man. i keep asking them. hinting taht maybe its something to do with heart but they dont. I am only 23. They are like i dont think its nething to do with the heart. They jsut do my resting EKG and it comes back normal. so they r like ok no heart problem

Ask you MD to check you out for Pulmonary Embolism.

how?? with a V/Q perfusion mistmatch??

isnt it true that pulmonary embolism wont make a difference in healthy individuals cause lungs have 2 circulation, and the only time it makes a difference is when its a huge emboli and then you just die.



You think its pulmonary hypertension emeric?

 

[bhumik]

do u know ne other ways to check for pulmonary embolism besides VQ mismatch. We dont have it in my country. I live in a small country.

I have no cough, chest x ray comes out normal.

the breathing has gotten so bad, that sometimes when i m singing in the shower and stuff i have to stop singing and catch my breath. Its really bothering me, and i am having a hard time focusing on school.
