You should consult with a General Physician. You need a complete physical examination to find out any problem in the chest. Further treatment will depend on the diagnosis.

If you are having obvious breathing distress then your SpO2 level will definitely fluctuate. Going down to 88 maynot be alarming till it reverts back to 97. It means the oxygenation process is going on normally but there are instances when it falls. It may be duetobroncho spasm as happens in Asthma. Get your PFT ( Pulmonary Function Test) done to rule out Obstructive Air Way Disease. You may consult on Practo after that.
