What is hypoxia and why did my eye dr. say I might have a slight case? I went to the eye doctor and he made the comment to the contact lense lady that I have a slight case of hypoxia. When I looked it up online, it had to do with lack of oxygen to the body, but how does that affect my eyes? I have no known health problems (relating to breathing) or anything, but he made the comment about me wearing my contacts while asleep and such. What is it and how does it affect my eyes?
If a person passes out from hypoxia how long would it take to regain consciousness w/ bottled oxygen? Imagine the events of Helios flight 522 taking place but in my scenario the flight attendant puts an oxygen mask on the seated co-pilot before the independent cockpit supply ran out (in other words assume in time to have capacity to revive the pilot). How much time, typically, for a person to regain consciousness after loosing it to hypoxia?
Why cellular hypoxia cause bradycardia and abolition of pacemaker activity? Why cellular hypoxia depolarizes the membrane potential causing bradycardia and abolition of pacemaker activity? Because I figure it should accelerate heart rate so called tachycardia?

Will I forget to put the oxygen mask on? Will I feel sick during/afterwards?

why no changes in partial pressure of oxygen in the case of anemia hypoxia? The hypoxemia definition as decreased partial pressure of oxygen excludes decreased oxygen content caused by anemia (decreased content of oxygen binding protein hemoglobin) or other primary hemoglobin deficiency, because they don't decrease the partial pressure of oxygen in blood. this is from wiki.. correct me if I'm wrong. 1) The Hb are independent towards partial pressure of oxygen. but why is that, since Hb decrease,less amount of oxygen carried.but no difference in partial pressure?
Has anyone had a premie with Hypoxia? One of my twins, who were born at 28-29 weeks, is diagnosed with Hypoxia. The doctor explained it to me, and I kinda understand it.
