nighttime low oxygen level

by simoncat, Jun 12, 2008 08:57AM
I am on nighttime oxygen set at 3.  However, I am waking during the night with a headache.  Is that a sign that the oxygen level is still too low?

I would tell your doctor that you are getting these headaches...it could mean a few things. One thing that comes to mind is CO2 retention...I know this one personally as I had problems with my CO2 levels. Elevated levels cause headaches. Your doc may want to check your blood gases to see if that is the case.
I hope this helps...Sunny

Hello

I have a 16 yr old who who had phnemonia.  He is doing great  taken off oxy during the day at night they had to put him back on oxygen. Levels when low again.  He is a Asthma patient also.  His lungs sound ok. they say. they are trying to open up his lungs still from the Phneomnia. What could this be and will he have to have oxy at home at night?
