Hi Sue.
Its after I've been active. (Active right now is slow walking and bathroom trips). I'll take my sats sitting quietly and get between 94 and 96. After I am active i sit again and do another reading. Its then i will see the sats go from 94 down to 90 then 91, 92 etc. Each time sitting up and sitting still.

Well, that was a scary situation you went through. Like you, I would want to know more about what is going on, and why the crisis happened that landed you in the hospital.
I guess with no history of asthma or other problem, I would want to have the doctors search for a diagnosis - did he express any opinion of what might be going on? Those with a chronic lung disease (I have bronchiectasis & asthma) can get scary low readings whenever they have a virus or any kind of challenge. Then, as we get better the sats get better.
Would it be fair to say you are doing better than when you got home? Are you able to get up and move around, cooking or showering or other daily activities without being short of breath? Do you want to pursue an exact diagnosis, or just wait & see if your doc thinks it's OK (after he sees you?)
