Hi,
I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to bronchospasm and bronchitis (bronchial secretions related to the inflammation).
For this reason, if your oxygen saturation drop frequently, going to the ER may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
