O2 Sat Drop and Recover

While walking, my o2 sat may drop into the high 80%. Just stopping the walk, my o2 sat returns to a resting value. Is this normal for someone diagnosed with COPD? I would expect the O2 level to remain low for a longer period of time. I am starting to think I was misdiagnosed.

  1. Hi . Some people find their numbers dip while they exercise, so it might be normal, but we can't say for sure. Have you asked your doctor about the situation? You might be able to simple message your doctor if you don't have an appointment coming up soon. - Lori (Team Member)
