Now that I have at least minimal readings for all the systems aboard the watch... hvr, oxygen pulse day and sleep, and the rest, plus the algorithms from several of those combined over nearing a week, I decided to dig into what they mean, and see if they made sense.
I can't independently test these. But I can know, from my history and experience, whether these things make sense the some degree. Dig, dig, dig, so I did just that, looked, and found, a rough set of information, through video, medical sites, and such. Good, good.
It does look like I do have rather serious copd. That... explains something. My doctors never told me I had that. The oxygen sensor does. My oxygen levels are running between 88 and 92, where healthy people run between 95 and 100. The finger monitor is off, it always read 95%. Just not up to snuff, or on larger people? So, there is that.
Pulse, at around 79 as the often low, is fine. For what it is. But, if I stand up, just standing up can jack it to up to 129. And, if I then walk around, or do anything, it stays that high. Which, yes, shows the heart is... problematic. Even so, it... could be worse. A lot worse. I need to start monitoring blood pressure too. And tracking that to some degree.
But, generally, I have a much better understanding of what the readings are, mean, and the better levels. As well, I understand what the combinations of those, and trends, mean.
The real question remains. Can I... alter those. Can breathing exercises, just alone, help with oxygen intake? Can meditation help with the heart beat acceleration, jump, whatever you wish to call it. Will losing weight, or gaining muscle, help? Will trying to improve sleep help, assuming I can? I will be finding out.
I may have to look back over this information in time. On the good side, this particular watch seems to do a rather good job at tracking, compared to labratory testing of those levels and stats. And, from what I have seen, it does do a good job at most of what it does. At least, well within the scope of gathering useful data and trends... useful enough to work with. Engineering, perhaps, not scientific data. I don't need scientific, I just need within a stone through on a hundred mile run, I don't need to decimals of milimeters. Check.
Nice, very nice. Coffee is gone. I am warming. An overshirt, and jacket, plus coffee, helped. Still chilly, but I can live with that. Now for a vinegar tonic. Yum! I really am beginning to like those. Vitamins and minerals (minerals every other day) down. Breakfast at noon, I do believe. May toss the stuff I made for the first keto flour? Or... just try it, with the wrong ingredient? Should I also add the right ingredient? I do have to add the arrowroot powder, for browning. Not sure I should add the xanthan gum, with the psyllium husk powder already in it? Hmm, may make a separate right batch, compare the two? Yea.
It is up to 57 outside, a 21 degree rise in about two hours. Still chill, but better. When it nears 70, I'll shut the house up. Time to enjoy the vinegar cocktail and some music... maybe look around the web a bit. Yes.
