: Not likely. Check your home device to be certain it is accurate. Was this during a sleep test? Do you have sleep apnea? Discuss with your Dr.  If you think you have COVID-19 go to urgent care now.

Question 6

causes for low oxygen sats93-97%?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: With a proper medical history one might make some good guesses.   That along with a proper physical exam might help better explain.   Blood work could possibly even help.   Not uncommonly it is a combo of things age included.    Generally, it is not a major issue as long as it remains above 90,  but still if there has been a sudden change it warrants looking into further.

Question 7

what's a low oxygen level in general?

Accepted Answer

92 % plus....: In all patients, but certainly in post op patients, we'd like to see oxygen saturation of at least 92%. Supplemental oxygen may be necessary, at least for a short time. Good pulmonary toilet and breathing exercises are also employed. Good luck.

Question 8

what fixes low oxygen level at night?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause...: Most often, this is related to obstructive sleep apnea.  This is when your airway becomes "floppy" while sleeping.  The airway closes and no air can pass into the lungs.  Therefore, the oxygen level drops.  Using oxygen at night won't fix the problem if this is related to sleep apnea.  You will need a special machine that increases the pressure in your airway while sleeping.  See a sleep doctor.

Question 9

can the body adapt to low oxygen levels ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Think about americans who live in denver, sherpas that live in tibet, & the maya in south america. These are populations of people who have become accustomed in one way or another to a lower atmospheric oxygen level, and in the mayans a lower blood oxygen level. Another sea-level example would be a person with emphysema who may run a blood oxygen level of 88% and still be walking around home depot.

Question 10

how does low oxygen make you feel and how would you know?

Accepted Answer

Hmmm.Why do you ask?: Short of breath and unable to get up and move around. Usually lips turn blue and you develop altered mental status and chest tightness. It's typically not subtle. Ever seen a fish out of water? That's what people who are hypoxemic look like until they tire out and stop breathing. Then they appear peaceful for awhile before it's obvious they're dead.
