Noticed a 93 O2 reading on the pulse oximeter at the doctor's office yesterday. Just coming off a cold/flu with a lingering cough. Didn't think much about it so didn't ask while I was there, but later after looking it up, 93 seems like a really low reading. Anything to worry about?

What Causes Low O2 Reading On Pulse Oximeter?
Hello, You should be worried if reading has less than 88%. Since you had respiratory infection recently, you would have developed mild hypoxia. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Siva Kumar Reddy
