Muscle aches, chest pain, headache, and severe coughing fits that won't let her sleep and scare me when I hear them from the other room. After being awake for two days and one of them dropping her blood oxygen to 87 I made her go to the emergency room where they gave her prescription cough medicine that finally let her sleep.
Omicron is less dangerous than Delta. It's still dangerous.
- tluyben2 5y agoSorry to hear about your troubles. Everyone is shouting in the media (including here) Omicron is upper tract instead of lower so I had hoped you wouldn't get oxygen drops that low or lung related chest pains. Maybe I misunderstood what these things mean although some renowned newspapers here explained it like that.
- rajup 5y agoWait 87 SpO2?! I'm pretty sure that's the point at which you would be on a ventilator? Not sure what sleep has to do with SpO2 and it seems criminally negligent for the emergency room to just send your wife off with just a cough medicine..
- nradov 5y agoAn SpO2 of 92% or lower is considered severe. In most cases the patient should be hospitalized. https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n677 https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n677
