A member asked:
Am congested. x-ray showed atelectasis right lower lobe. oxygen level running 92-93. is this an emergency?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urgent care or ED: If you are experiencing trouble breathing or chest pain please see the Emergency Department right away. Your oxygen saturation on room air is borderline, and I would suggest seeing an urgent care physician or your PCP. Sometimes there can be an underlying infection or obstruction of the airway.
