Brief Answer:
There may be error with pulse oxymeter
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
There is no medical condition which can cause 22% change with oxygen saturation for few seconds on otherwise healthy individual.
Considering this fact I feel error with pulse oxymeter is the only possibility which explains in the change of oxygen saturation.
I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.
