What Does 92 Level Of Oxygen Imply?
My husband is taking Amiodorine and recently the Dr. Increased his dose to 200 mg. even before the increase he was feeling very tired, short of breath, and just not feeling right. He went to see his cardiologist on Monday and he said everything looks ok. Since he was short of breath I went out and bought a pulse/oximeter and his oxygen level was 92. At what point should we go see a dr. I made appt with pulmonary dr but can t get in until Wednesday of next week. Is 92 too low? Should that number fluctuate?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion your husband is having arrhythmia as amiodarone is anti arrhhthmic drug.
And normal oxygen level is above 90.
So no need to worry for oxygen Level of 92.
And I also think that his breathlessness is due to cardiac cause only.
But better to consult pulmonologist get evaluated for lung cause.
So no need to worry for oxygen level 92.
Its normal.
