Resting oxygen saturation is 98-100 consistently. during intense exercise (85% mhr), it drops to 93-94. is this normal?

It is fine: As long as it does not drop below 90% it is ok. You do not say what your health problems are or if you were a smoker. But it sounds like you are ok.

O2 Saturation: The above numbers are fine for your o2 saturation rate. And, yes, it should go up with exercise.
