Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
What is the normal oxygen saturation (O2 sat) during physical activity compared to when I'm resting?
Answered by Dr. Ceyhun Berk
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Typically, oxygen saturation (O2 sat) should remain above 92% both at rest and during physical activity. However, I understand you may be using a smartwatch to monitor it. While convenient, these devices may not always provide the most accurate readings, especially during physical exertion. If you're concerned about your O2 levels, it's best to use a medical-grade pulse oximeter or consult with a healthcare provider for a more precise assessment.
Thanks
