A member asked:
What is a normal oxygen level? how low does it need to be to be admitted in the hospital. mine is reading 94-95
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oxygen: Oxygen at this time of year should be 96 to 98% saturated. Yours is a bit low. That alone, however, is not an indication for hospitalization. In your history i see no evidence of illness or other symptoms that would cause you worry.
