Why can your oxygen levels be good and still get out of breath?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Your oxygen levels may be spurious - they are false - or you may not be using the oxygen once delivered to your cells. Either way, you need to see your doctor, and explain fully what you are experiencing. Hope this helps!
