My grandfather was suffering from covid. His age is 79. Now he has tested negative. We are using an oxygen concentrator at home. We have started removing oxygen at day time. He maintains 92-93 during the day. But at night his saturation goes 84-85 with the oxygen concentrator. He is unable to sleep at night. Please tell us solution
