Farang99 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 A pulse oximeter can warn if oxygen levels are abnormally low. Where can I buy one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4reaL Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 seems expensive as like $19 buck on Amazon https://www.fascino.co.th/en/catalogsearch?q=pulse oximeter&b try Lazada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Most smartwatch and fitness trackers have that built in. It may not be 100% accurate like a hospital but would give you a good indication. Mine also gives temp reading too and warns if that raises.

tomazbodner Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 From 79 baht on Lazada: https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?spm=a2o4m.home.search.1.1125719cBZTM0G&q=oximeter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Only worth getting if you think you have covid, from Lazada it's a couple days delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite, but I'm sure some people have no need for it except buying just in case of covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea if the more expnsive ones are more reliable/accurate? All the cheaper ones are from the same company - Docooler, if that means anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered one from Aliexpress (Lazada doesn't deliver to Laos). With the suspension of the Lao postal service, I just received the package - it was posted last April!! I still don't know how it got here, because the international postal service is still suspended.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiujunn Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Don't buy the <deleted> for 79 baht. Don't use your smart watch, very unreliable. Read up on how to use it, I think there once were posts on TVF, there also is YouTube by Dr Mike Hansen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
