16 9 to 89% is not normal for a pulse exterminator reading. If you’re short of breath you just gave the reason. Need to go to an urgent care center or an emergency department. He needs supplemental oxygen, an x-ray, and also found out why you’re having the swelling that you’re having in your legs. The last thing you want to have is a deep venous thrombosis that resulted in a blood clot in your lungs, which results in you being short of breath and hypoxic. Please get somebody to take you to the emergency department for evaluation thank you I wish you well God bless.
