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.
