Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, these symptoms are more common with carbon dioxide excess than oxygen deprivation.

Also, oxygen deprivation is a medical emergency and one definitely admits or retains for emergency care of confirmed. Arterial blood gases are the most reliable and quick measure to monitor any oxygen deprivation.

The symptoms you mentioned may need to be evaluated for any deficient essential micronutrients or vitamins like B6, B12 and folic acid.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
