Best Answer

You should use a pulse oximeter to measure oxygen saturation.

Also, you can examine the finger nails or lips for peripheral cyanosis (they may appear blue) or under the tongue for central cyanosis (also blue).

If you are worried that you have it, you should see a doctor or go to the emergency department of your hospital.
