Should i be concerned that oxygen level is 93 and i have 3%oxygen on at rest ?

If you are treated with oxygen, please continue to monitor your breathing and O2 saturation levels. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and dizziness. Please see your physician. For worsening trends, proceed to the Emergency room.A 93 % reading though is in itself within normal range.

Do you mean the oxygen flow is 3 liters/ minute? Unless you have very advanced pulmonary emphysema where oxygen flow should be low,.you should have an oxygen saturation of 95% at least. Are you in an upright position? Are you in respiratory distress? If so, proceed to the emergency room where prompt evaluation and care are available.
