#roomie is a pharm tech and also has a pulse ox and I've been checking my bpm on it every so often.

Got a high score at the doctor's office today! Unfortunately, it was during the pulse check.
nurses: so hey, did you have a lot of caffeine today? me: I've been fasting since 6:15AM nurses: *quick look exchange* me: what me: *looks at the pulse ox readout* pulse ox readout: 121 bpm me: is. is that good nurses: ah, maybe it's nervousness? me: ...haha no it's definitely not that, I feel more comfortable in doctors' offices than grocery stores nurses: did you run here? me: n-no? I walked, like... normal speed, from across the hallway, and I've been indoors in the AC for like an hour nurses: hm. well, you'll be ok, maybe don't look at it for now? me: *finger gun with non-pulseox'd hand* bet
I got to do a retake at the end of my visit and scored lower (87! that's almost normal for me!) but uh... yeah we talked and I'm going back in two weeks to get a holter monitor stuck to me
