What Causes Elevated Oxygen Levels In The Blood?

Hello there, I was recently found to have high levels of oxygen in my blood. My new doctor spent our last session on Google, which created doubts for my trust in him. I developed psoriasis 3 years ago (stress induced?) as well as Intraheptic Cholestasis during both of my pregnancies. (youngest is now 5). I have avoided the Dr. for some time now, high levels were also found 3 years ago. I am worsening nausea, with occasional wretching, extreme dizziness (randomly), I get hot easily and sweat then become itchy, my breath can feel restricted at times (randomly), I am finding I am not hungry often, I have random pains in my chest and abdomon as well as in the vaginal canal. I sometimes feel as though there is pressure on my cervix ( like in the braxton hix stage ) :( My gums bleed when brushing, my body parts fall asleep often (toes, arms, neck, head, legs) I bruise very easily and find that I am stiff and sore, moreso than I should be. I am lately finding I fall asleep sooner and have less energy. I am also experiencing 2 week long periods with extreme bleeding (prescribed advil during this time). I feel un well and know something is wrong with me :( The psoriasis has caused my hair to fall out, but I notice that my nails and body hair are growing quite quickly and darker (maybe just age ....?) the Dr. had a chest x-ray as well as a CBC done, but after sending me to google with the word polycythemia and not calling me back, I am loosing my faith in him. Is there something you think I could do? I do not normally seek medical attention.

Hello,

In my opinion, you should recheck it. Better to get done arterial blood gas analysis. This will give you 100% accurate results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
