Hi.

Anyone here monitoring their oxygen levels? Mine is hovering around 96%-98%, but has dropped to 95% after exercise. Is that normal?

95% to 100% is the 'normal' range.

Good morning Seaguller. Your oxygen levels are fine and still very good after exercising. Mine can be 97. But dropped to 90 last week after exercising. But after a few deep breaths was soon back upto 93. Your doing OK. Brian

Mine are awful. On minimal exercise mine drop to below 70 so I am on oxygen for 16 hours a day. At the last appointment the amount was raised from 2 l/min to 3. Be happy yours are so good!

You are only talking about a 1% drop really which is within the error of the device. If you put it on a different finger, you could easily get a 1% difference. Nothing to worry about.

Yes my Apple Watch monitors mine and have drop as fas as 87%. But they say above 92% is ok. But if u do it regularly then take a note what ur readings R at rest and after exercise.

Mine goes opposite way. It’s low on rest and can go to 100% after physical exertion.

Not what you're looking for?
