A member asked:
Oxygen sats rise for a few seconds after inhaling then fall to lower than they started. (e.g. 95% > 96% > 91%) what could be causing this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why check them??: You need to give us the background of your health: why are you checking your Oxygen saturation in the first place? if your lungs are healthy, you should not worry about your O2 Saturatations.
