I am the mom of a 20 yr old with Down Syndrome. In the last 3 years, he has had many health issues arise. He has just been changed from a CPAP to a BIPAP (level 13) in the last 2 months. He also is hypothyoid and right now can't get his dosage correct. He just had a oxi
...
[More]metry test done and the results were that his oxygen level at night and on the BIPAP was 88 and below for 2 hours. He has an appointment with his doctor in a couple weeks. But, I'm trying to find out info on health risks or affects of this low oxygen level at night. And should I request some type of oximetry test for the day time? I am totally confused and very worried about all this. Also his heart rate ranged from 62 to 102. Can anyone help me with answers and I don't care how blunt they are. I need to know what other concerns I should be aware of. Thank you.
