I would wait and see the results of your scans before I worry. Worst 89 and best 96 - is low but lots of people with COPD have worse than that number of 02 sats.

I would not worry until your 'consultant' has told you what is wrong.....hope you are home soon.

Have you had any more input from the Consultants that are in charge of your care whilst in hospital. I have seen previous posts of yours and I think your COPD is classed as mild so I’m sure it is worrying to you that your oxygen levels are lower than usual. I hope you have now had the necessary scans to provide a diagnosis and hopefully treatment if needed.

Hope the consultant is soon able to identify what's happening and prescribe the right treatments to get you back to your usual self.

Try to keep calm until you can have the tests; much easier advice to give than to receive. xxx
