Good morning. Just out of interest what are your normal numbers? I just flew back from Cyprus and was late 80s but soon recovered when I got off the plane. I’ve been told you only fall 4-5%

I had a similar experience in that the last few flights I went on before my asthma got worse was I felt faint and a bit breathless but it was always on the flight back not going. I haven’t flown since as I am now a bit worried about it.

I wondered why it was on the return flight and not going?
