A member asked:
I keep getting lightheaded when walking. i got a oximeter & today i was out for 10 mins & my sats dropped to 79% now have an headache. should i worry?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Worry, yes!: Sats should not drop like that; You should consult an urgent care center, primary care doctor, or emergency room as soon as possible; hopefully the meter or the way you are using it are defective.
