A member asked:
Can stress cause low oxygen level ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No, certainly not directly. That is, stress can cause a lot of problems, but it would not in of itself cause you to have a low oxygen level. For example, stress could lower your immunity. You could then be more susceptible to getting a lung infection, and then the lung infection could cause a low oxygen level.
