A member asked:
Hypoxia in the 80s% for 5 minutes, but not short of breath, can you have low oxygen saturation without symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely. Check your home device to be certain it is accurate. Was this during a sleep test? Do you have sleep apnea? Discuss with your Dr. If you think you have COVID-19 go to urgent care now.
