May be normal: Do you have other health problems? Everyone has a slight drop in oxygen levels when exerting themselves. Studies show that patients having a low oxygen level at rest benefit from supplemental oxygen. Hypoxia, or a low level of oxygen upon exertion usually does not benefit from supplemental o2.
