      Is a person capable of anxiety if they’re missing a fifth of the oxygen they’re supposed to have?

      IIRC 95% is like “you should probably talk to the doctor” territory

          Indeed. “Thanks” to be being a frequent flier in a global company I got Covid already in March 2020 and was constantly checking my oxy values. Never got below 91, but if they had hit 90 I was told to take an ambulance right away.

        Yes. Based on seeing a family member in that predicament, I’d say they’re capable of extreme anxiety at those levels.

        Oh yeah, I mean, that’s fucked. I have no idea what effect that’d have on your heart rate.
