A member asked:
My father is a copd patient, from few days he has saturation level ranging from 60s to late 80s .this low saturation is seen usually when he is doing some work .otherwise he will get 70s 80s by itself . is this fluctuation normal ?

Evaluation: Please contact his Pulmonologist on call. His normal baseline values are part of his medical records, but if he is struggling to breathe, please proceed to the Emergency Room. He should avoid over exertion until seen.
