Blood Oxygen Saturation

ANSWERED

Why does fitbit only warn about potential risk of high blood oxygen saturation but ignores the potential risk of low blood oxygen saturation?

Hello @LKL1 

This page on How do I track blood oxygen saturation with my Fitbit (<-- click link) has information that you might find helpful.

BTW, I don't think Fitbit is warning about the potential of high blood oxygen saturation, but rather providing data to monitor nightly SpO2 trends. If one is seeing results consistently below normal range (usually below 90%), it's recommended to discuss this with your doctor.

I only asked this because under the sleep restoration in the app it only mentions that high variations can be linked to breathing issues. Low variations can also be linked to breathing issues and can also affect brain activity. It seems the app should also mention low variations.
