My vitals were always fine
Throughout this, I was measuring my oxygen levels with an oximeter. My doctor said that 95 to 100 is a normal level for oxygen, but if it drops below 92, you have to go to the hospital. There were so many times I was so short of breath I felt certain my oxygen levels must have dropped low, but nope. They were high. They never went below 96. Do you know what was off for me though? My heart rate. Those times I felt so out of breath, my oxygen was fine but the little oximeter reported that my heart rate was high. It took so much out of me to just get a glass of water that my heart had to work really hard to keep up.
