Is this a serious issue

2021-03-01 12:44:47
I'm a healthy 18 year old individual except that I've asthma and a weakened immune system.. I have been getting palpitations for about 2 months now, and doing a chest xray has diagnosed me with sinus tachycardia. Previously, readings on oximeter would show 99% Spo2 levels but lately it has declined down to 96%. Should that be a matter of concern since I have been noticing the decline for about some weeks now? I also suffer from shortness of breath lately and chest discomfort..
