Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
If your SPO2 is above 95% , it is normal. You can manage with the same as low as 90% and there is nothing for you to get worried. Relax and take deep breath and exhale slowly through pursed lips. This will increase your oxygen saturation and also relieve your anxiety to some extent.
Do get back to me if you have further queries.
