I have a change in oxygen levels after the covid vaccine?

Hi, I have a question regarding oxygen levels. For some history, I had covid in January 2021. I am a 23 year old female. I had recently gotten the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine 2 days ago and have been monitoring my symptoms. I noticed that while I sit down my oxygen is at 99 but when I stand up and do not move my oxygen goes down to 90/85 is that normal? I only ask because my back has been hurting and sometimes it feels hard to breathe but I’m not sure if it’s just a symptom of the vaccine or if something is wrong with my oxygen levels.

If it is post vaccine that this has started I would see a Dr. There is no way to know if it is vaccine related, heart related, or still some longterm problems related to covid. Also, there are many things that can cause back pain.
