Symptoms How does low blood suger, low oxygen levels or high heart rate affect you?

(title) I wanted to know. I recently had 2 readings. 1 was 93 oxygen and 135 bpm after a shower and the other one was 91 oxygen and 125 bpm. I know my ox was low and my heart beat was high.

*I will speak to my docter!

*I am not looking for Medical Advice. I am just CURIOUS. :)

The 2nd was after a blood test

My ox levels are usually around 97-100% at rest, but quickly drop to 83-95% when I am active. Which makes me very short of breath.

I have reduced lung volume due to pulmonary embolisms, so 🤷‍♂️

I have been prescribed an inhaler, but this has only helped for my lung pain.

My high heart rate (95-130 bpm at rest, 110-200 when active) causes heart palpitations and mimicks the symptoms of a heart attack

I quickly have low blood sugar and this makes my ears “swoosh” as if I cover them with a shell at the beach, it also makes my heart rate sly rocket even more.

Our partners deserve much more praise than we can give them don’t they?

Doctors are also in over their heads with me.

Hope you’re doing sort of alright all things considered.

Everything except the oxygen makes me very nauseous! Blood pressure changes make me nauseous too. Everything makes me nauseous. I will get the shakes and go totally numb in bad episodes. But on the day to day, nausea.
