Some reassurance about pulse oximeter readings (pulse rate and oxygen saturation). These numbers need to be interpreted in the right context, and they can change over time. The pulse can vary very quickly and increase due to stress, anxiety, anger, exercise, running, speaking, moving around the house, drinking coffee etc. Oxygen saturation (SpO2) in normal in most people, and generally a value above 94-95% can be perfectly normal. In some individuals with chronic lung disease, the saturation is usually a bit lower and your own health team can advise how to interpret that value in your case.
