A member asked:
Tested my blood oxygen right after blowing 3 balloons. it went down to 93 but back up. is that normal? have been doing breathing exercises for lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oxygenation: Hi, yes that is normal, blowing up balloons will consume oxygen and the oxygen would go up quickly as soon as you stop doing it. If it stays low for an extended period of time then it may be a problem.
