Doctor, it is possible for covid ( or even normal) person to see difference in sp02 fall 3-4 points just after stream inhalation? After 5 miln rest, it comes to normal 97-98 value on oximeter ... Is this behaviour normal??

Always wait for 10 seconds for the pulse oximeter to record the reading accurately. Spo2 more than 96 is always normal
