When I was diagnosed with Pumonary Hypertention, I had to get an Oximeter. A 100 dollars is a pretty good price, other wise they can run extremely high. I have a a BCI, I check it often with my Pulmos or cardio to make sure it's still spot on with theirs. Most doctors like the Nonan (can't remember if the spelling is nonan or nonin) I have to check mine several times a day. Whenever it dips below 90, I have to use my concentrator (a machine that makes oxygen), or my tank. If they find out you have a problem, you may want to ask them if you need one. And like Joanmarie said, they can write a script for you to get one. We just went ahead a bought one.
We wanted to make sure we got a good one, and were more than willing to pay anything extra to get one that was reliable. It's a life saver for me.
Praying like anything you won't need one.
Love and Hugs

P.S. Oximeters also give a pulse rate.
