A member asked:
Oxygen saturation was 92% this morning when i first woke up is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: 92% is not severely abnormal but is abnormal for someone who is otherwise healthy and as young as you. Note that pulse oximetry is not perfect technology, however, and may not always be accurate.
