Hi

Although safe it’s a large drop from 97% is this your normal sats level.

No harm in asking your respitory nurse.

That sounds just what I get. Do you leave your oximeter for a while to settle down before you take the reading. Mine doesn't work properly straight away

I do but don't know what I am doing
