What causes o2 stats to go down when you start talking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: This could a be number of things from a pulmonary standpoint or it could something blocking your airflow when you try to talk. If you have not seen a doctor, i would strongly encourage you to do so.

Oxygen saturation stays high when talking, but nosedives to mid 80% after stopping talking and is difficult to get above 95% again. Why is this?
While doing nothing, or just talking I feel short of breath. However, when I exercise I have plenty of oxygen, why?
My father is about 45 years old and have respiratory problem while talking oxygen in while sleeping.
How can I tell if I'm truly short of breath? Oxygen sat is 98 & peak flow is normal. Can someone who can talk & breathe w/ mouth closed be SOB?
Does the oximeter drop below healthy oxygen level if food is caught in your throat? I went to the ER today but they never scoped or did x-rays to check, but said I'm mostly fine since I can eat, drink and talk and have healthy oxygen levels?
