Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Be The Reason For Drop In Oxygen Level?
My oxygen level dropped from 98 to 94 and I am concerned. I was diagnosed with AFib in 2011, but otherwise I am a very healthy, active 68 year old who drinks 1-2 glasses of wine/day, eats a very healthy diet and does aerobic ex. 3/week plus Pilates 1/week. Why did it go down? I do feel that I am not able to work out as hard as I used to a few years ago. My Doc said my lungs sound clear and my heart beat strong, but doesn't know why the drop.
