Spo2 depends on the machine,battery power, positioning of the body etc.if spo2 drops below 92 only, it is a problem. So it is Normal in pranayama.pl consult Pulmonologist online for further evaluation and treatment.

Hi, there can be variations in pulse oximeter reading, please leave it on for 30 seconds before taking reading. If it's returning to normal level, nothing to worry
