How do you detect hypoxemia?

When you’re fighting for your life, it can be easy to overlook the small things. You put your training hat on and get ready to sweat out those last few reps of your last set of push-ups. That is until you realize that the air smells like burning rubber and someone just farted in front of you. With this type of situational awareness, you immediately shift from a training mindset to an escape or survival mindset and are now prone to making bad decisions as well as missing important cues that could save you from certain death. This is because your brain has to prioritize which signals it should react to first when confronted with several stimuli at once. If there are potential risks involved then they will be ignored until after they have been eliminated as much as possible.

 

What is Hypoxemia?

If you have ever been swimming underwater for a long period then you might have noticed that it feels like your lungs are on fire. That is because they are on fire! They are burning, like, the liquid is on fire in there. This is the result of what is known as “hypoxia’. Unlike normal breathing where the air that you inhale is brought into the lungs, hypoxia occurs when the air in your lungs is not replenished and oxygen levels decrease. This is usually due to some sort of obstruction in the respiratory system such as an injury or respiratory infection or if you are simply being in a very unsafe environment. If you have ever had an asthma attack then you may have noticed that your lungs feel like they are on fire too. This is because your respiratory system is on fire with asthma.

 

Symptoms of Hypoxemia

Often we simply do not notice that we have Hypoxemia symptoms because it is not obvious and has no obvious symptoms. That is why it can be difficult to detect. That being said, there are a few things that can help you notice if you are suffering from hypoxemia. - Unintentional weight loss - Fatigue - Difficulty/pain breathing in your chest - Unconsciousness - Fatigue, pain, and unconsciousness are all very nonspecific and you would have to be observant to notice any of these. - The first thing that you can look out for is unintentional weight loss. This is the most obvious symptom of hypoxemia. If you are suffering from hypoxemia then you will experience a decrease in your health and physical fitness. This is why people who are suffering from Hypoxia will often notice that they become less able to exert themselves as well as lose weight. This is also one of the reasons many fitness models often suffer from hypoxemia. - The next thing to look out for is fatigue. This is also a very nonspecific symptom that can be caused by a lot of different things. - The next symptom to look out for is pain.
