Help oxygen sats

My Dm had covid and copd she doesn't sound well at all but is refusing to call an ambulance because she says she's fine but she's struggling for breath and can't talk without coughing and spluttering. She's CEV so we're very concerned

We've got an oxygen meter but I'm unsure what the reading should be for someone with COPD. I looked online and think it's fine to be between 88-92 however Dm thinks if it's 86 it's fine.

Does anyone have any advice and at what reading on the oxymeter would you consider calling for an ambulance? Tia

So sorry to hear your update. At least she's in the best place now. Hopefully the doctors will be able to get her on the road to recovery. What a worrying time for you

I've been thinking of you and your mum.

@TryingNotToPanicOverCovid @dublingirl66
Thank you both

She's said she should be allowed home tomorrow as things are improving! So that's good. She's still very breathless and struggling to speak but they're doing some more blood tests tomorrow and hopefully she'll be heading home
