Common causes of low blood oxygen are heart disease, respiratory disease and hemoglobin abnormalities. Management methods include oxygen, surgery or medication.
1. Heart disease, especially congenital heart disease, low blood oxygen is a very common symptom, and patients often feel that it is hard to breathe, and the condition can be improved by correcting the congenital deformity through surgery.
2. Respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), can also cause low blood oxygen, which can be treated with oxygen and medication specifically designed to treat COPD, and lung transplantation can also be an option for patients with advanced stages of the disease.
3. Hemoglobin abnormalities can reduce the ability of hemoglobin to transport oxygen, which in turn reduces blood oxygen. Targeted treatments can be taken according to the different kinds of abnormalities, but oxygen absorption is a universal treatment.
If you have low oxygen, you should seek medical attention.
