How about a (Click here) fingertip pulse oximeter
Got one early COVID. The Internet says less than 90% and you should head to the ER, however mine’s now 92%, and I did see 88% once when I was pretty sure I was getting the disease. Long weekend, I rode it out.

In Sept of 2010 the late wifey and I were vacationing in Dillon CO at about 9000 ft. Was not in good aerobic condition. The beach at Lake DIllon had i would say a 100 or so steep stairs up to the parking lot. I struggled and JoAnne had to stop twice to catch her breath. Have not quit walking since except if something is injured.

I have one somewhere. Last time I checked I was high 90's
We go home tomorrow. I'm feeling better as far as breathing goes but now we both are sick with a fever and other issues that are making it nearly impossible to leave the cabin for more than a few minutes.
What is the heat source? Not trying to be alarmist - but CO poisoning? I sure hope not.
Maybe that sickness was already on its way, and that’s why you felt so bad. The high altitude probably didn’t help much if that was the case!
There is a wall furnace and electric heaters.
I think you are onto something. I walked the dog around the block. Went to the store etc and I'm fine.
The house has fresh paint. We smelled it as soon as we opened the door. I wonder if I'm having a reaction to that?
You have altitude sickness. Is your nose stuffed up?

Those things are very vague at best. Might give somewhat of a warning, but not much else. For example, I have severe chronic persistent asthma along with a restrictive component as in I have no problem getting O2 in, but the exchange and getting the CO2 out IS the problem. Been at an ER with O2 sensor taped to my finger while pushing the cart and reading 100% doing a brisk walk in the hallway, but my peak flow was 50% of normal range and couldn't finish sentences. Then a blood gas test was done indicating low 80s for 02 saturation.
For those that have a decent smartwatch I'd trust the O2 sensor built into those over the clip on fingertip type.
And….
Get a pulse oximeter…
That is a must have…
Chris if you are less than 93 percent on room air… You need to be seeing a physician… ASAP
Sounds great, I hope.
VOC's is what makes some people sick. Some paints have VOC's in them and some don't. Some colorants added to tint paints have VOC's in them, so buying a zero VOC paint might contain VOC's once tinted.

I opened the window behind the bed about 1 inch last night. I slept my normal 6 hrs with no issues. The night before I kept waking up out of breath.
Going up the stairs outside does raise my breathing rate a little which I consider normal. It's the unable to breathe inside that freaked me out.
I'm going with fresh paint at this point. Will monitor myself when I get home later today.
Update: I layed around till I got cold @6:30a. Girls didn't want to get up yet so I shut the window and continued to lay on bed. By 7:15 I couldn't breathe! Threw on some dirty clothes and took the dog for a walk and I'm fine out doors.
The toddler is throwing up too.
