Good SPO2 numbers: Those number show that you're getting enough oxygen, so they are fine. If you are still feeling like there is a problem, you should see your doctor. They can do testing on your lungs to see if they can find any other problems. It might also be caused by anxiety, which your doctor can help. Whatever is going on, you ARE getting enough oxygen, but you should see a doctor for further evaluation.
