@kudzu "I did go to Mayo for a pulmonologist consult and was told if there were anything serious wrong with my lungs I wouldn’t be able to get my levels up to 99%."
Did you go to Mayo in Arizona? Did you see an MD or PA or NP?
That comment is medically inaccurate. I have very good oxygen saturation when sitting. but I need oxygen for exertion and sleeping. My diagnosis includes three reasons for my drops in oxygen - all serious and life threatening and all tested and documented in my medical reports.

@vic83
I went to Mayo in Rochester Mn, saw an MD, and that comment is simply reporting what the doctors told me. If it’s inaccurate, that’s on them.
My activity level and subsequent testing seem to bear them out, though.
Sorry to hear about your situation; maybe there are a number of reasons for fluctuating o2 levels?
Best wishes to you.
