All oxygen alarms are set at 89%, so all the time you are over this you should not worry. Everyone's readings vary all the time. Even people who are not on oxygen.

Thank you Rib.

Hi Keith I'm going through exactly the same as you at the moment ..my oxygen was 94 at rest on 2L but has dropped to 91 and I too have been worrying ..sometimes it climbs to 97 even 98 but when this happens my eyes go all hazy and blurred so take my oxygen off til I feel ok again .. it's such a scary feeling when things change as I usually think the worse but I refuse to Google any query as then I do get far too much negative info ha ..I know if I'm off my oxygen for say 40 mins and mobile which is not often my oxygen can drop to 68 think 64 was the lowest and my body certainly let me know about it .. hope you feel better now people are replying but a word of advice if you have an oxometer try not to keep checking your oxygen perhaps just once upon waking up and say if you feel a little strange as I was checking mine constantly and it sent me crazy ..stay well take care mel 😊
