A member asked:
If you have asthma..will your oxygen levels be decreased? if it always shows above 98..most likely you don't have asthma.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: People with asthma usually have normal or near normal oxygen level. But you will be in mortal danger when it is gets below 90. Thus a normal oxygen level by pulse oximetry is not the same as good asthma control.
