What can affect O2 readings?

Hello.

Thought I'd start a new post with this question. In general, what can have an effect on an O2 rating?

For example, I know elevation changes can change your O2 sat. Can allegies? Reflux? Air quality? Cold or flu? Chest congestion? Nasal congestion? Etc....

I'm not curious just during exercise, but am curious at ALL times what can change your O2 sats?

Thanks,

When I have been in Israel at the Dead Sea, my O2 was up from the moment I arrived. That alone would be quite normal, because its 400 meters below sea level, so there is more O2 in the air. But surprisingly my O2 sats stayed higher for about 2 month after I came back home ( after 3 weeks at the Dead Sea ).

If you're looking to boost your O2 sats, try an l-arginine supplement. L-arginine increases NO production in the lungs witch in turn boosts O2.
