Hi doctor,
I am covid recovered person. My ct score was 12 at time of covid and it came down to 7 after two month.
I see little variation in my spo2 during some activities.
Normal seating - 97-98
Incline position - 95-97
6 min walk - 97-98
After climbing 4 floor straiers - 98-99
After some 30 min house activities - 96-98.
6 min continuous run( without break) - 96-97( plus 150 reach)
I keep finger in oxiometer for maximum 2 min after these activities.
Is these fine to vary like this ??
Please suggest.please read given data properly before answer

Hi. I understand your concern s. Stop checking oxygen saturation if you don't have any symptoms. If you have symptoms do a online consult for a detailed analysis of your symptoms and to suggest you further management plan and treatment prescription

This is normal. Repeated checking of SpO2 not required. If you don’t have any symptoms then please stop checking it again and again.
Next Steps
Tell your family members to hide the pulse oximeter from you.
