Try this webpage , http://www.turnermedical.com they have a nice oximeter that also measures your heart rate.

it's small, fit's on your finger and no wires operates on battery.

$199- I just bought one, just passing on the info I know alot of people here are often looking for these!

Thanks for that link. I'll need to read to see which ones might have an alarm that goes off when numbers get too low. Yes, a lot of folks here are concerned about their levels when sleeping. Thanks for the heads up.

Houston, we have a problem......

You do realize the $200 oximeter does NOT have ANY recording capability, so you will have to count on someone else staying awake all night to read it and activate it every couple of seconds.

Your O2 can go from dangerous low in deep sleep to "normal" in the time it takes to wake up and read the spot checker pulse ox.


unfortunately there seems to always be a catch............
