SpO2 level drops to 80 during running

2020-10-14 10:25:22
At normal times the SpO2 level is between 93-99. But when we checked his SpO2 just seconds after running it was 80 and then in few seconds jumped back to 88 and then 90. Also he's not a very active person in general. Is it a cause of worry?
