seems that unofficially, blood oxygen levels are to be measured at 90 days initially and yearly thereafter. In reality, follow-up re-evaluations are all over the map. Some studies have suggested that up to 60% of patients initially started on oxygen may not need to be on oxygen upon re-evaluation.
Oxygen Levels, Pulse Oximeters and COVID-19
Symptoms of low oxygen levels may include feeling short of breath, breathing faster than usual, or feeling too sick to do their usual daily activities. You should call a health care provider if you have these symptoms, even if a pulse oximeter says your oxygen levels are normal.

As a result, you may feel tired or have other symptoms. In some types of anemia, such as aplastic anemia, your body also doesn’t have enough of other types of blood .

Low oxygen levels do not stimulate breathing so sensitivity to CO2 levels is an important function of nerve cells in the brainstem. Opioids block that feedback loop. When an individual overdoses on an opioid, the high levels of opioid will decrease alertness and induce sleep. During sleep, it is the CO2 feedback loop that keeps people breathing but

A oxygen saturation monitor (pulse oximeter) only measures oxygen levels in the blood, but does not give levels of carbon dioxide. Peak cough flow is a test that measures the strength of your cough. The higher the flow, the stronger your cough.
