I've had shortness of breath, low blood pulse, oximeter readings?

I usually stay around 87 88 blood oxygen levels while moving and walking around. When I'm sitting down it can go to the low 70’s. How concerned should I be and would you advise hospitalization immediately? This problem has been going on for months now.

I think that discussion with your pulmonologist is of priority. Bring your cpap, O2 level, etc and an evaluation of your things vs the medical things would be great service.
There’s multiple questions to ask but starting with that takes out 90%. Thank you for your request and I hope I was of service.

Be well
