Yes 77 is not good, above 90 is where you should be. Really I heard 98 is supposed to be where you blood oxygen level should be. Please get it checked out. Yes 77 is not good, above 90 is where you should be. Really I heard 98 is supposed to be where you blood oxygen level should be. Please get it checked out. I read on a pulmonary therapist page that there is a increasing curve of debility even. Basicaly, the difference between say 93 and 98 is not a huge deal.

It can also be estimated by measuring the oxygen saturation of your blood using a pulse oximeter — a small device that clips to your finger. Normal arterial oxygen is approximately 75 to 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Values under 60 mm Hg usually indicate the need for supplemental oxygen.

Levels of blood oxygen are measured using an oximeter, which is attached to your finger, or through a blood test using one of the arteries. According to the Mayo Clinic, the blood oxygen level test should show at least a 95 percent level. Levels between 80 percent and 94 percent are considered low but anything lower is a sign of hypoxemia.

By Mayo Clinic Staff. Hypoxemia is a below-normal level of oxygen in your blood, specifically in the arteries. Hypoxemia is a sign of a problem related to breathing or circulation, and may result in various symptoms, such as shortness of breath.

If your breathing is labored, you should call your doctor. Going from 87 to 92 means your oxygen saturation is coming up. That is very good. But being labored in your breathing is not. You should at least call them. Feel better soon.

Oxygen saturation is a term referring to the fraction of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin (unsaturated + saturated) in the blood. The human body requires and regulates a very precise and specific balance of oxygen in the blood. Normal blood oxygen levels in humans are considered 95-100 percent. If the level is below 90 percent, it is considered low resulting in hypoxemia. Blood oxygen levels below 80 percent may compromise organ function, such as the brain and heart, and should be promptly addressed. Continued low oxygen levels may lead to respiratory or cardiac arrest.

If your doctor is expressing concern about your blood oxygen levels, you should be concerned, too. You may be inclined to argue with your doctor if he/she would like to see you using oxygen 24 hours a day. It’s fair to say that round-the-clock oxygen therapy is inconvenient and irritating.

I am a 30-year-old woman. – January 12, 2012. Low blood oxygen, known as hypoxemia, means that the level of oxygen in the blood has fallen below normal levels, due to one or more of many different causes. Under most circumstances, breathing room air, normal readings range from 95 to 100 percent.

Quick Answer. Blood oxygen levels during sleep should be at a 95 percent saturation, which is considered normal, according to the American Sleep Apnea Association. A saturation of 86 percent rates as mild, while 80 to 85 percent is moderate, and 79 percent or less rates as severe. Sleep apnea occurs when airflow reduces by 80 percent.

When oxygen saturation levels fall below 92%, the pressure of the oxygen in your blood is too low to penetrate the walls of the red blood cells. It is a matter of gas laws. 2. Your insurance company may not pay for oxygen unless your levels fall to 88% oxygen saturation.
