Oxygen Saturation and COPD:
- Your oxygen saturation of 98% is normal and indicates good oxygen levels.
- This does not suggest COPD or an immediate risk for it.
-
COPD Risk Factors:
- Typically linked to long-term exposure to lung irritants like smoking or pollution.
- At 30, with normal oxygen levels, your risk is generally low.
-
Symptoms to Monitor:
- Watch for persistent cough, shortness of breath, wheezing, or chest tightness.
- Consult a healthcare provider if these symptoms occur.
-
Chest Health:
- Without symptoms or risk factors, routine concern is low.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid smoking or pollutants.
For specific concerns, a doctor can provide personalized advice. Your current oxygen level is a positive sign of good lung function.
