You can check your oxygen level at home using a pulse oximeter. This small, portable device clips onto your finger and measures the amount of oxygen in your blood.
Here's a quick guide:
How to Use a Pulse Oximeter:
- Insert your finger: Place your finger into the pulse oximeter's opening, ensuring a snug fit.
- Wait for the reading: The device will typically take a few seconds to provide a reading of your oxygen saturation level (SpO2) and pulse rate.
- Check the results: A normal SpO2 reading is generally between 95% and 100%. If your reading is lower, consult your doctor.
Where to Buy a Pulse Oximeter:
You can purchase a pulse oximeter online or at most pharmacies and medical supply stores.
Note: Pulse oximeters are not a substitute for professional medical advice. If you have any concerns about your health, always consult with your doctor.
