low oxygen saturation

So I'm 5weeks post ablation for AF. Managed to start walking again,and have built up to doing 2x 8mile walks this week with a couple of three mile dog stomps . I was wiped out for a day after each long walk,so obviously maybe walks were too long and I should have walked less. However today my oxygen levels are squiffy,and going from normal 95% keep dipping to 89%. Does this sound normal,post procedure ithings watch saying no AFib.

I’m guessing you haven’t read the ‘Recovering from an ablation’ fact sheet? Summary: Listen to your body and don’t push it. I’m guessing you are used to long walks so don’t think that is excessive but your body does at the moment.

Not what you're looking for?
