    I don't know what's wrong with you, but 90-99 oxygen level is Great! mine gets down to the high 70's at times (however I do have a partially paralyzed diaphragm which makes breathing difficult)....but still...I wouldn't worry if I were you!

    mine does the same.. i wouldnt worry. i bounce around from 91-98. Bought a oxi meter when i was short of breath earlier in the year and used it when i felt like i wasnt breathing right. Eased my mind once i saw it never changed woth how i felt.
