    Hi Julia. I on on my PC and am not having the problem getting booted out. I tried what Keith suggested to copy and paste. I did not have to do this on my PC however once I am home on my ipad the problem still exits?????? Yes I as well had the oxygen test. Very simple. You just blow in and out when the technician tell you to, In my test they also had me used an inhaler to measure the oxygen, hope this helps but nothing to it.

    As well as the spirometry test (which I'm sill waiting for) isn't there a blood test that assesses blood oxygen?

    Just to add - are you thinking of the Blood Gas Test?

      He just said last time I spoke to him I'll give u an oxygen test, but there's nothing wrong there I'm sure, I don't smoke never have and March this year I ran half a marathon! I swim bike and horse ride, I've no allergies to food or animals no asthma, but if he needs to strike it off I'll do one, there's a oxygen test where they take it from an artery, the thing with that is if it shows I have too much oxygen it's obviously because I've nothing wrong with my heart and lungs! Just too many red blood cells xx

    Hi Julia

    I have had a couple of oxygen tests as a result of suffering pulmonary embolisms in 2008. They will take blood but the needle will be inserted into an artery rather than a vein. When they took mine, it was from an artery in my wrist. They will then test the oxygen levels in the blood.
