Shortness of Breath
You may feel like you can’t get enough air, especially during physical activity or even at rest.
Rapid Breathing (Hyperventilation)
The body tries to compensate by increasing the breathing rate.
Increased Heart Rate (Tachycardia)
Your heart beats faster to deliver more oxygen to organs and tissues.
Fatigue or Weakness
Low oxygen impairs muscle performance and reduces energy levels.
Headaches or Dizziness
The brain receives less oxygen, leading to light-headedness or even fainting.
Cyanosis (Bluish Skin, Lips, or Fingertips)
A sign that oxygen isn’t adequately reaching the extremities.
Confusion or Difficulty Concentrating
Oxygen deprivation can affect cognitive functions.
Chest Pain
Especially during exertion, as the heart works harder under low-oxygen conditions.

Seek medical attention immediately if you consistently experience these symptoms.
Use a pulse oximeter at home to monitor blood oxygen saturation (normal range: 95–100%).
Practice breathing exercises like deep diaphragmatic breathing or pursed-lip breathing.
Quit smoking and avoid polluted environments to support better lung function.
Use supplemental oxygen if prescribed by a doctor.
