A member asked:

My blood oxygen sats lowers when i take prescribed oxycodone for pain? (apple watch) . it varies from 91-97, usual is about 95-97. feel completely normal otherwise.the dips to lower levels as 91,92 are only brief but is this a cause for concern? thnx?

This drug like several others in the same drug family lowers your respiratory drive (pattern/cycle/depth/etc.). Take too much & you stop breathing. At those levels its not likely to cause a problem, but avoid taking the more than the minimum you need to get through the day.
