Pulse oximeter shows 89% but i feel absolutely fine.no shortness of breath or no dizziness.the room i stay gets suffocating during hot weather.should i worry?

Would suggest checking with a different oximeter to confirm readings for accuracy. If 89 is confirmed let your doc know as oxygen will likely be needed. Context matters as to why you are checking your oxygen and trend as well as if your sats are improving, staying same or declining.
