What Causes Low Oxygen Levels And Raised Heart Rate While Having Asthma?

My daughter has asthma, during this latest flare she has carried supplemental oxygen...her levels would drop into the low 70 s. . She has finished her latest course of meds and is on advair and two rescue inhalers..the ad air is new....could that account for the low oxygen (74) and the raised heart rate (110) ? It is normal sometimes but then will drop...she is 30.
