Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Since you have done all cardiac examinations, than your symptoms aren't related to cardiac issues. In these case your symptoms should be related to pulmonary issues.

If you were my patients I would recommend to do the following examinations to exclude/confirm pulmonary tests:
- Chest x-ray
- Thorax CT
- Functional pulmonary tests (spirometry)

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!

I'm sorry... I didn't explain enough to begin. I had the chest x-ray it came back clear. I also had a sonogram and that was ok. everything you have suggested has been done and there are still no clear answers. Is there anything else. Basically he's is saying he's done everything a pulmonary cardiologist does and he can't tie it to any of those things so it must be something else. Is there anything else that can cause the o2 saturation to fluctuate. a vitamin problem??? something that is rare that could cause this. I am afraid to leave my bedroom or even get out of bed.
