@irenea8 Glad O2 helps you. Wish it helped me. My O2 is pretty normal for having bronchiestis. It's my lungs that are functioning at 42%. Lungs are struggling to pump the O2 through the body.

Possible Reasons for Shortness of Breath (Normal O2)

Anxiety or Panic Attack: Can cause hyperventilation, creating a feeling of breathlessness.
Heart Conditions: Heart failure, arrhythmia, or valve problems.
Lung Issues: Asthma, COPD, bronchitis, pneumonia, or pulmonary embolism.
Structural Factors: Stiff lungs, fluid buildup, or scarring (pulmonary fibrosis).
Other Factors: Anemia, extreme fatigue, obesity, or lingering effects of COVID-19 ("long-hauling").

I remember my pulmo saying you can have normal O2 levels but still feel SOB due to "lung mechanics"
