30 years since I also smoked. Yes, 88 and below qualifies you if on Medicare for O2. However, if you have diagnosed sleep apnea do not admit it because if you do and you can't get CPAP to work, no O2 for you! Funny thing is, with O2, my mouth stays closed so no sleep apnea.It's a real trip after I have surgery and am in recovery watch the nurses freak. When I'm real relaxed and on O2, my O2 level drops as low as 60 and my heart rate stays below 60. They are always convinced that I'm about to die. On my last surgery I made them get the head recovery nurse to come see me before surgery so she could see my low O2 and heart rate for herself. If it turns out that the finger O2 meters simply don't work on me, that will help with some of this. I'm seeing a different doctor Monday.BTW, when I had sinus surgery in 1993, low pulse ox, sinus bradycardia, EKG machines saying I'm having or have had heart attacks - nope.
