@irenea8 thank you for responding. I do have an oximeter and my oxygen does drop when I do just about anything. I do recover pretty quickly after I sit down though. I’ve actually started a nebulizer today so they are saying it will help. We shall see.

As long as you are 90 or better you should be ok. My pulmo even said at one point that 88 or more was acceptable for people with Bronchiectasis. This should be when walking around the house and doing things and not just when you are sitting down. I imagine they tested you to see if you need to be on oxygen or not. It is very important to get on it if you need it. I should not have waited so long but I honestly thought the oximeter was just malfunctioning when I got such low readings!
