My husbands pulse ox jumps around

I just went to the doctor Monday the 6th of may
All of my blood work I reference to my blood cells that are about oxygen are within the good range and overall on most everything else now my oxygen level was 93 I was pretty shocked as it’s normally a lot higher in the past however the doctor never said a word about it and said I was stable overall and made no changes so then I go home and checked my oxygen till I’m crazy from it and it’s been bouncing from low 90s to mid 90s and depending on how I sit it does rise till around 96 sometimes, so although I’m concerned I’m obviously ok or they would of had me to go to the ER or etc, and the doctor is in a facility with many tools like mri and mini operation facility so I figure they wouldn’t let me out if they were thinking I’m in distress . I am slightly congested at Times from allergy’s so that could be a factor but who knows , also I have walked as much as 6 miles in a day within the last
6 weeks and it didn’t phase me. Hope that is some comfort.

There are so many things that can effect the Pulse Ox's..they're very temperamental....activity, cold hands, if you just walked from the Dr waiting room to the exam room. The Key number is 88%....do no want to be in the 88-89 range for any period of time. If you don't feel in distress, your color is good and you are breathing with ease, just slow down and take some deep slow breaths until it comes back up. If you can walk 6 miles in a day with little discomfort that is Great! I can just clear my throat and my O2 Sats will come up by 2 points. As we use to say in the ICU, yes, look at the numbers, but look at the patient too!
