The pulse rate is high under you are not having any symptoms that means there may be a panic attack and the oxygen saturation it is almost normal and nothing to worry. As a precautionary measure please go through the routine investigation and it helped you to know how is your health condition in general and are you facing any problem in your lungs ? If you want to detail discussion try to contact me  and I will explain you in detail.
