Question : my oxy level drops to between 78 and 65% and 144 pulse during light activity. It rises to 95 at rest and pulse of 62. Should I go to the emergency room?
Brief Answer:
If symptoms developed acutely during a day go to emergency room
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
If it is an acute onset during some hours or a day, you need to refer to ER.
In case you have these symptoms for several days, it will be better to visit your doctor, in this case you will have a possibility for complete examination and investigations.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
