Got it around the pandemic era. I take my vitals several times a week including weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, temp, and 02 level. Generally my 02 floats around 98-100% with my cheapie instrument. Low 02 was one of the symptoms of covid, so between that and a covid test, it gets me more confidence through the few cold/flu incidents I've had in recent years.
