Just recently we got my husband's Oximetry results and they seem alarming to us. The guy how we got the Oximetry device said he is very concerned and thinks my husband should be put on oxygen immediately.
I guess my question is this -- has anyone seen results like this? And does anyone think it could warrant bypassing his dr and going straight to the hospital for observation? we don't want to overreact, but i also want to make sure my husband gets the care he needs before it is too late.
I have searched the internet to find something to put my mind at ease but everything i've seen so far says to be alarmed when numbers are much better than what are shown on his chart. I have also read that it is most important to treat the patient - not the numbers - well, my husband is very ill and I can see with my own eyes that he needs some sort of treatment.
His dr has already mentioned that he believes he's suffering from hypoxia and bradycardia .... but still nothing seems to be happening. She we insist on a referral to a cardiologist? ask for oxygen? go to the hospital? try to find a new dr? I'm not sure where to go from here.
I've attached his chart -- We are new to all of this stuff and having a hard time knowing how to tell if our dr is moving fast enough. I'd love to have some other people's eyes on this to just get some feedback for how urgent other people would feel about it.
Thank you for your time.
