Hr of 116 o2 sat 97%: Should be a above the normal rate, what is your rate at rest? 60-70? then should be 80-90 for a light walk, however young people have faster heart rates than tthe elderly, therefore you may fall into the normal parameters . As the walking intensity increases the rate will too. Do you get any shortness of breath? The O2 sat of 97% is normal, increment of heart rate
