Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for writing to HCM.
If you get some symptoms? The number indicates that you must be really symptomatic. They show that your oxygenation levels fall dramatically and your pulse rate rises expectedly on minimal exertion.
You Should see your doctor on priority as these number indicate serious disease of heart or lungs.
Sincerely
