I tested pos for covid 11 days ago. i'm feeling better and have became obsessed with checking oxygen last night it bounced from 97 to 94 its 97-99 most the time. is the 94 an emergency?

An O2 sat of "94" from usual "97-99" is not an emergency level, but further testing is indicated if respiratory symptoms occur. Respiratory symptoms from COVID-19 are common, but if severe and O2 sats fall below 90, go to an ED for evaluation, as the "Delta varient" of COVID-19 can progress into the need for hospitalization.

The course may be prolonged. It may take weeks to feel back to normal. Rest,stay well hydrated and monitor your temperature. The variation in your pulse oximetry is normal, but if you have labored breathing, please see your physician or the emergency room.

No

Yes, at least a preliminary evaluation for lung status and to observe if it is headed downhill. Any further intervention may be necessary.

Not at all. As long as you continue to improve and have no respiratory symptoms, stop checking it and get some rest.

No, If you are feeling well clinically and the oxygen saturation is between 94 to 99 it appears that you are getting better

Covid 19 is an inflammatory disease, it causes lung inflammation leading to falling of oxygen saturation below 90 persistently, and chest X-ray/HRCT chest will show ground-glass opacity. When baseline oxygen saturation is 94-97, then no worries. Please continue to follow up with your PCP. We have to remember 80 percent of Covid patients are asymptomatic and recovers without symptoms.

WHEN IT IS BELOW 90 YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED. DO BREATHING EXERCISES TO KEEP IT ABOUVE 90,IF IT STAYS BELOW 90 FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THAN SEE YOUR DOCTOR.
