Oximeter reading keeps changing.
My father's oximeter reading first shows Spo2 levels 96 then reduces to 95, 94 again increases to 95 then again reduces to 93 and 92. It keeps on increasing/ decreasing. This is worrisome. Which reading should I consider? Given normal Spo2 levels are 95-100, reducing at 93 to 92 is worrisome. Please suggest.
