Does low levels of oxygen impair you ablity to walk straight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oxygen and walking.: If there is not enough oxygen getting to your brain because you have too little oxygen in your blood then yes it will be difficult to walk at all, much less in a straight line. If you are asking about what might cause you to have trouble walking in general, then there are explanations other than low oxygen levels. I suggest providing more detail and asking again, as well as discussing with your MD
