Happy hypoxia (also silent hypoxia) is hypoxia that does not coincide with shortness of breath. It is known to be a complication of coronavirus disease 2019. It is speculated that this condition is caused by SARS-CoV-2 affecting the blood flow of the lungs’ airways and the blood vessels within the lungs, which must match to allow proper airflow, but not affecting them enough to cause shortness of breath. It is also speculated that silent hypoxia may be caused by small blood clots forming within the lungs. It has also been shown that COVID-19 patients experience lesser levels of shortness of breath after exercise than non-COVID-19 patients. However, Siddha Spirituality of Swami Hardas Life System brings you out some instant and easy Siddha remedies for well-being.
What is happy hypoxia?
Happy hypoxia is a condition where blood oxygen levels are low but the patient continues with their daily activities without being aware of it. According to medical experts, non-regular monitoring of oxygen saturation levels could result in organs shutting down and the condition can become life-threatening. Youngsters may not realize the steep drop in oxygen levels in the blood because of their high immunity and general health.
What are the symptoms of Happy hypoxia?
The Covid-19 disease has displayed many mysterious symptoms over time. In the second wave, which has been affecting the younger population, unlike the first outbreak more and more patients are reportedly suffering from this condition.
The blood oxygen saturation level (SaO2, amount of hemoglobin carrying oxygen) of a normal person is around 95 percent or more. However, in conditions that affect the lungs like pneumonia, the blood saturation levels drop below 94 percent.
Blood oxygen levels below 90 percent are considered to be too low and oxygen therapy is needed for such patients. A person with low oxygen levels would have symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain. However, in happy hypoxia, the person shows no such symptoms.
In an article published in the peer-reviewed journal Science, Reuben Strayer, an emergency physician at Maimonides Medical Center in New York City said, “There is a major mismatch between how the patient looks like and what the monitors show.”
A pulse oximeter is used to detect blood-oxygen levels in a COVID-19 patient. Happy hypoxia, if left unchecked, leads to a condition called hypoxia (low tissue levels of oxygen), which can cause organ damage.
What are the Possible Causes of Happy hypoxia?
The study mentions the following possible causes of happy hypoxia:
Difficulty in breathing
Dyspnea (difficulty in breathing) is a symptom, only experienced by the patient. A healthcare practitioner or a caregiver cannot catch it until the patient shows signs like rapid breathing, fast heartbeats, or any other signs associated with the condition.
How does Carbon dioxide play a role?
Our brain senses carbon dioxide levels, not oxygen levels in our blood. Minute changes in ventilation only occur after PaO2 starts to drop below 60 mmHg. PaO2 is the measure of the pressure of oxygen in the blood in arteries. It tells you how well the oxygen is passing through the lungs and into the blood. Normal PaO2 levels are between 75-100 mmHg.
A previous study found that even a decrease of end-tidal PaO2 below 60 mmHg only increased dyspnea in half of the subjects even though all subjects should have experienced it.
On the other hand, even a small increase in the pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood (PaCO2) would show large changes in ventilation. Even a reduction of blood carbon dioxide saturation level by 10mm Hg can cause respiratory issues that a person cannot tolerate for even a minute. But, severe hypoxia only leads to an increase in ventilation when the PaCO2 goes above 39 mmHg.
How ACE2 receptors respond to happy hypoxia?
Hypoxemia induces breathing difficulty through special chemical receptors called carotid bodies present in the brain. ACE2 receptors, the cell surface receptors that the COVID-19 causing virus uses to enter healthy cells, are present on carotid bodies too. So, it is a possibility that these receptors may play a role in dyspnea.
Are Pulse oximeters effective in critically ill patients?
A pulse oximeter is a compact, portable gadget, that measures the oxygen amounts in the system.
Hence, a pulse oximeter is a very useful instrument that can help detect falling blood oxygen concentrations in the early phase of COVID-19, much before the ailment manifests in more severe forms. This would assist in immediately isolating and providing prompt medical care for people afflicted by the coronavirus and significantly curb the spread of COVID-19 among the community.
Presently, the COVID-19 situation in India is intensifying, with more than 3 lakh people testing positive daily.
As the country witnesses, a rapidly escalating second peak of infections, many youngsters including teenagers and those in their 20s, 30s are also acquiring COVID-19. One alarming detail observed in these instances is how happy hypoxia develops in the younger population as well.
Does fever play any role with Happy hypoxia?
Fever, a symptom of COVID-19, may have something to do with happy hypoxia. The carotid bodies in the brain only respond to PaO2 and not SaO2. However, the two could vary at different temperatures.
Why do oxygen levels decrease in coronavirus-infected patients?
Widespread clotting takes place in the complex network of small blood vessels in the lungs, which is the primary cause of happy hypoxia. This, in turn, instigates cellular protein reactions that form blood clots and prevent cells and tissues in the lungs from receiving adequate oxygen supply.
How to identify happy hypoxia in patients with mild symptoms of COVID-19?
The color of the lips changes from the natural shade to appear blue, while skin discoloration occurs from the original tone to a red/purple appearance. Persistent sweating even when not performing arduous exercise routines or in a hot surrounding is yet another red signal for low blood oxygen levels. Keeping an eye out for these warning signs of happy hypoxia ensures prompt treatment in a hospital setting, thereby restoring lung capacity and normal breathing in the affected individual and helping them recover from COVID-19.
How to manage Happy hypoxia?
The normal oxygen saturation in the bloodstream of a healthy person is above 95 percent, but these cases could display a dangerous decline of as little as 40% and would need immediate oxygen support and in critical cases, ventilators as well.
Dr. Dnyaneshwar Mote, a member of the Pune city Covid task force for Social Action, said that at least 10 percent of patients showing “Happy Hypoxia” will need critical care.
They may not show symptoms of breathlessness but their SPO2 (blood oxygen saturation) levels are dangerously low. This can worsen the Covid symptoms and damage lungs severely,” said Dr. Mote.
He said patients should regularly monitor the oxygen levels in the blood.
“If they notice a drop in oxygen, they must contact their physician immediately and arrange for a bed before symptoms get worse.
Research about happy hypoxia or silent hypoxia
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic holds many mysteries. Among the more baffling has been the frequency of silent hypoxia, or happy hypoxia.
Hypoxia is defined as “a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood.” As blood oxygen levels begin to reduce, a person may experience shortness of breath, also called dyspnea. If blood oxygen levels continue to fall, the organs may shut down, and the issue becomes life-threatening.
COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory illness. However, a severe case can reduce the amount of oxygen that the lungs can absorb.
As reported in various media sources, including Science, despite low blood oxygen levels, some patients appear to be functioning without serious issues or even SHORTNESS OF BREATH.
