Low oxygen levels when sleeping, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have a sleep study: This may be due to obstructive sleep apnea. If you have documented low oxygen levels at night, see your doctor. You may also have a lung disease or cardiovascular issue. This is important - please see your doctor to evaluate this further.
