My normal oxygen level us 96-98 on a pulse ox, i traveled to new mexico and it was 91-95 and i didn't feel well? why the drop in oxygen?

Interesting: I wonder if this has something to do with atmospheric change, but would have to know where you originate from. I'm also curious as to why you measure your oxygen level regularly. Is there a health product for this? The lower O2 level could be a cause of not feeling well or an effect of something else that made you not feel well (eg pneumonia). Recommend virtual c/s for more informed response.
