breathing problems
I am having a major panick attack right now because I was at the Dr today and my oxygen saturation was 94%. It was just 98% a month ago. I have been chain smoking a lot due to anxiety this past month. Now I can't shake the feeling I have heart disease or I'm dying. If u know anything about this please help. I'm 27 if that makes a difference of what my level should be.
Because of smoking you are getting less oxygen. Cut back on smoking and your oxygen level will rise.
Try to calm down. Your O2 is likely a result of the smoking. It is not that bad. I think you should go back to your doctor and see about getting help to quit. You are young and if you have anxiety smoking isnt doing you any favours. But until you get in to see them, atleast try to get back and relax, 94% is not bad!!!
