Suggest Treatment For Low Oxygen Level

I was told my oxygen level was sometimes 85, 89, 92 95. I have not had the low oxygen levels before, and now I am getting some sinus like headaches. I have never had headaches before. I lie down and put ice over my eyes and temple, left side, and it goes away. Is there a small dose oxygen thing I can get to use to see if it helps get reid of the headaches?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on HCM.
Sinus problem does not cause low oxygenation as sinus help in humudification of air and in speech.
Oxygenation is controlled entirely by lungs.
So I advice you to rule out lung disease for your low oxygen level.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out pulmonary causes.
Low oxygen can also cause headache. So search for the cause and start treatment for low oxygen.
Consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
