A member asked:
I had half of a lung removed due to cancer. now my blood oxygen level is very low. will exercise help it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing: Removing half of one of your lungs should not have severe effects on your blood oxygen level is there are not other problems. See your doctor and ask for a more complete explanation of your functional status and whether or not there are other diseases affecting your blood oxygen level.
