Oxygen saturation level

2021-07-08 15:06:46
Its been more than 1 month since my father got cured of covid but his oxygen saturation level is always around 94%. We always check with 2 different oximeter but the result is always around 94%. Is this normal post covid? especially since my father is 67 years of age. Also is there anything to worry about?

Is there any history of asthma. Anyways don't worry he will be ok. Take rest properly and sleep in pron postion as much as possible. Don't start doing any heavy exercises for 2month. Lite breathing exercises are fine. Keep taking regular follow up every 15-20days for 3months.
