Oxygen level drops after climbing stairs

2021-07-26 08:36:12
I had tested covid positive on May 2, 2021. It was a mild infection and during that time my oxygen level was in normal limits. But now after two months, if I don't do any activity it is in 97/96. But when I climb stairs or just go for a walk it drops to 92/93. Why does that happen ?
