What Causes A Heart Rate Of 123 And Oxygen Level Of 93%?
My brother has a resting heart rate of 123 and an oxygen level of 93%, is that cause for heading to the ER? He was in a terrible rollover in May and had severe brainn damage along with a number of other things and had a treach put in but came home 2 months ago on a bipap but has been congested and sleeping A LOT.

Hi,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that his actual heart rate values are a little high, but not concerning. They could be related to anxiety or physical stress.
Anyway, considering his past medical history and the fact that he has been sleeping a lot lately, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and a brain CT scan.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
