Low oxygen saturation query
I feel low on energy and have regular headaches. I got all tests done like vitamin deficiencies, thyroid, haemogram etc. All are ok. Normal diagnosis doctors gave is stress headaches, kind of mild depression. I am taking treatment from psychatrist in the meanwhile I am also taking oxygen saturation reading due to current pandemic situation.
I observed that my reading consistently comes between 90 and 95, hardly anytime 96 or 97.
Could this marginally low saturation be cause of my low energy level, headache, mild depression?
Could this be investigated medically in some way?
