If you have COPD any other chronic lung condition, you probably know what it means to have a lower than normal blood oxygen saturation level. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is just one example, but it means that your lungs’ ability to bring in enough oxygen is compromised. The tiny air sacks in your lungs have been damaged, so you can’t absorb enough oxygen through these sacks into your bloodstream.

It’s important to have a certain level of oxygen, versus a certain level of carbon dioxide in your blood at one time. The carbon dioxide is carried back to your lungs, where it is breathed out when you exhale. The oxygen you breathed in gets delivered to every part of your body, as part of the fuel you need to keep your body working properly.

Your heart and your brain are two of the most important organs in your body, and they use the most oxygen out of any other part of your body. Your brain alone uses over 20% of the oxygen you breathe in. If it doesn’t get enough over time, your brain cells will begin to die. If your heart isn’t getting enough oxygen over time, you can develop heart disease.

What is the Normal Oxygen Level

So what is a healthy oxygen level? People who are breathing normal, who have relatively healthy lungs (or asthma that is under control), will have a blood oxygen level of 95% to 100%. For those with moderate to severe COPD, a level between 92% and 88% is still considered okay. However, falling below 88% can be risky, and if it drops to 84% or lower, it’s crucial to seek hospital care. Around 80% and less can threaten your vital organs, requiring immediate medical attention.

Low blood oxygen, or hypoxemia, happens when your blood oxygen falls below normal levels, which can affect how your body functions. Symptoms of hypoxemia can include headaches, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, a fast heart rate, coughing, wheezing, confusion, and a bluish tint to the skin, fingernails, and lips.

It’s normal for your oxygen level to dip slightly during exercise, unless your doctor has instructed you to turn your flow setting up while you are exercising, making up for this change. Depending on the model, your oxygen concentrator might also adjust to meet this need for more oxygen while you are physically active.

How to Check Oxygen Saturation Levels

You can check your blood oxygen saturation (also known as SpO2) with a handheld pulse oximeter. These are easy to use and work just like the ones used in doctor’s offices and hospitals. It presses against either side of your fingertip and gives a quick reading through the screen located directly on the pulse oximeter.

There are no big pieces of equipment – just something that is easy to read, and easy to carry around with you. The one we have at American Medical is a little over 2 inches long, and only weighs 2 ounces! You can check your blood oxygen level at any time with your handheld pulse oximeter.

Watch out for these warning signs that your blood oxygen level has gone down. Shortness of breath, fatigue, headaches, and body aches are all signs that your blood oxygen level is lower than it should be. Get it checked with your pulse oximeter, and call your doctor right away.

    • Thank you for your question, Joseph. This is something you will need to speak to your individual physician regarding as they will know the insights into your individual medical condition, allergies, abilities, and possible solutions/issues when starting a new form of therapy.

      • Danielle that is not an informative answer to give to joseph??‍♂️ Surely you can divulge if these steroids and antibiotics make breathing worse? I feel most medicines prescribed are for Gastro? I wonder why? I’m beginning to doubt the meds I am on, they do nothing to alleviate breathing
        Rita from Scotland

        • My dad has asthma/COPD and now idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) recently diagnosed and Gerd is one of the problems people suffer with lung problems hence the meds given.

          • Hi I have COPD and GERD it’s grim but I also am fed via a tube in my intestine as I am NBM. I still have antacids daily and pain relief. Pain can make you breath quicker and this is not good for COPD. So analgesia helps your breathing.

        • It is not reasonable to as a physician to comment on drugs without a detailed history, dosage information and other information and to do so without knowing the patient. In fact, had she answered I would be concerned.

          • We cannot give any medical advice; please consult with your physician or healthcare provider. They are qualified experts to assess the condition and provide treatment.

      • My moms on these same meds, the doxyccline, prednisone, among many others she went to minor er today. Her o2 sats have gotten as low as 82. We cannot consult with her pcp as u know they are closed due to the covid19. She has the symptoms but they will not test her, just because she has not been to China or wherever that’s not fair. I bet if she was a health care provider or a different nationality she’d get better treatment. Even the ambulance man did not want to transport her, her 02sats were 90 at the time he only left it on for like 2 seconds.Fed up from the United States

        • I sadly going to hospital in a pandemic is very risky. I’m Uk and I am on regular oxygen at hone and when I’m feeling breathless and headache and aching everywhere I have to sit still and concentrate on my breathing to raise my sats. I have my own nebuliser machine and a sats finger machine. I will avoid hospital at all costs 🤞🏼🇬🇧

          • good morning what about 98 Sp02% and the other number with heart means? and what number is ideal for the heart?

          • 98% SpO2% is healthy. A normal resting adult will have a heart rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

        • We cannot give any medical advice; please consult with your physician or health care provider. They are the qualified experts to assess the condition and provide the treatment.

        • 96% oxygen saturation and 71 pulse rate is good. If you have any concerning symptoms, please contact your medical provider.

    • You are not giving any good information these people just like me are suffering from COPD Medicare has there guidelines which you have to be dead before they’ll give you oxygen you people are an adult people you know what you need if you need the oxygen get the oxygen even if you have to pay for it out of pocket this is BS go see your doctor so they can tell you oh you don’t need oxygen my O2 level drops and 88% that’s not a good enough oxygen level according to Medicare if you want your lungs to heal you need to take care of it nobody else will, you need to work with your doctor and tell him you’ll pay cash and get yourself straightened out. Good luck to all of you out there who have my condition.

      • Steve you are 100 percent correct. Medicare requires a person to be dead to get oxygen. I have had this experience over and over with my husband who had tumors in his lungs and suffers greatly. Medicare oxygen requirements are a joke. Sometimes a good doctor will fudge the results.

        • I have COPD. I had no problems at all getting oxygen from Medicare. That was even before having 2 exacerbation that required hospitalization in April & again in June. Can you change doctors? That may be where the problem in not getting oxygen lies.

          • We cannot speak to if you can change doctors or make any recommendations with regards to your doctor. We can help you select the best oxygen concentrator for you oxygen and lifestyle needs. Please reach out to us at: 877-644-4581.

          • I dont have copd , I have suffered many injuries some cant be declassified. But the worst was a case of virul pneumonia I had a cough in the morning that night I was given a choice go home and be comfortable or stay in the hospital my temp had hit 108 I survived barely 10 years later after years of getting back in perfect shape regardless of damage to one lung my pso2 was 99% now I’m under 50 years and its 84 no one can find a reason . Due to other conditions and circumstances a stay at hospital would not be well advised. I have private insurance. Iv done thousands of hours pro bono in research to help others and drs but now I need an advocate and one willing to help me navigate the waters so I can get oxygen for that and after siezures as I am allergic to all siezure meds. Please contact me privately with what you need to help me I’m sure he will sign paperwork but I need tank and concentration nose and mouth and nose mask

          • Hi Mike
            Just a thought re seizures: I am also allergic to all seizure medication: I used P4 in cream form (bioidenticsl progesterone in macadamia nut base cream), and haven’t had a seizure for 10 years. I had 52 grand mal in 2.5 years. P4 is your body’s natural anti inflammatory, and also has impact on lung function. It works synergistically with vitamin d, so if you’re deficient in one, you’ll very often be deficient in the other: worth exploring if you want to regain health. Note: P4 is used up in times of stress if that helps put things in perspective

          • I find it odd that these Medicare patients are having trouble getting oxygen therapy. I’m on Medicare and I just did an overnight pulse of study and now I have oxygen.. why would it be so different for me?

          • I have the same story as you. I didn’t have a problem getting the oxygen for Medicare at all. I do have a Medicare advantage plan.

        • Hi Susan, I have COPD and I have a Pulmonary doctor. I am also on medicare. I have never had a problem getting oxygen. In fact when I 1st had to start on oxygen I was in my doctor’s office. Everything was set up there. When I got home the oxygen company came over and set me up with everything I needed. I’m not sure why you are having problems. I wish you the best of luck.

      • Well I just went for breathing test 2009 2013 2019 been checked 2009 2013 no change doc has COPD on my records2019 doesn’t look like that say ing upstruction don’t know where IAM at oxgen good

      • steve yr correct,,, my dr has been trying for mths to get even the small canisters ,,, so im stuck in my apt and cant go anywhere

      • Mi father was came covid positive on 22-feb-21, had fever with itching throat. But today fever come around 100.5 and goes comes again. And his oxygen saturation today goes 86 for few seconds than came back to 93.
        From yesterday his saturation level varies between 93-92..pls suggest

        • We cannot give any medical advice; please immediately consult with your physician or health care provider regarding blood oxygen saturation levels. They are the qualified experts to assess the condition and provide the treatment.

      • Look up Dr. Brownstein nebulized peroxide/iodine solution. Its cheap, you do it at home and it works amazing! Something these doctors won’t tell you is how much your body needs iodine and vitamin C, D and A. Etc.

      • Dear Daniel,

        Please consult your physician immediately for their recommendation of what your oxygen saturation should be – we cannot provide medical advice.

        Sincerely,

        The AMSR Team

      • They say 84 and below is very dangerous to organs and you should go to the er. I’m not a docgor. But anything below 96 and I get very tired

    • Hi there I was in a induced coma and on ventilation for almost 3 months due to pneumonia 8 months ago and almost died … Then 8 days ago I was rushed to hospital due to my breathing being bad and my oxygen levels were 81 so have had to have supplement oxygen but the medication you stated above I am on and I guess it depends on what type of respiratory illness you have but I’m hoping thus will fix NY breathing or at least make it easier for me to breathe!!!

      • Houston here. I had co-vid an the flu 18 months ago. I felt fine. The Dr. said that if I would go get the shots in my belly that I wouldn’t have to go to the hospital. I got the shots and wound up in the hospital. I’ve been in the hospital 6 times all total. Seems like every time I go to the Dr. I get worse. I drove a public transit now I’m out of work. I’m retired but I still like to work. I am short winded now. The oxygen don’t seem to help any. I have nebulizers and puffers. I have air tanks and electric machines that make oxygen. The Dr’s don’t hear anything unusual when they listen to my chest, Yet they say that I have COPD. The only thing that bothers me is that I’m short winded.

    • My hands are always very cold, so my home pulse oximeter does not register. This also poses a problem with every hospital visit resulting in levels being taken from my ear lobe or forehead. What alternatives or recommendations do you have for reading my levels at home?

      • In pediatrics, oxygen level reading is usually taken from toe. If you use socks or keep your feet warm. You can try that method.
        You can also try a higher hospital-grade pulse oximeter at home.

  1. Hi I have late stage copd my breathing seams to be burning when breath in my oxegyen lol is at 89 / heart rate 90 talking is hard just took 2:5 atrevent 2.5 subutamal

  2. I get vastly different readings depending on which hand I place the oximeter. I get numbers around 99 on the right handadda while I get high 80’s on my left hand. I have COPD (Pretty serious COPD) and I am confused by this anomaly. Any thoughts?

    • We see this happen with people who come in as well. If you are concerned about your oxygen levels I recommend going into your doctor’s office and having it checked.

  3. Doctor, I have just recently gotten off of oxygen. My blood oxygen was 93. My question is,is it good for me to be off of oxygen.

    • It is always good to hear when someone has been taken off of oxygen. However, if you have concerns you should set up a time to speak with your doctor. It is always a good idea to speak with your doctor about your concerns about being off of oxygen.

      • My mother has copd & her oxygen level is 87 right now. Is that good? But, I’m reading the comments & you’re not answering any of the questions. You’re referring everyone to see their doctor, which is ok! But, I don’t see you giving any expertise in any of the issues.

        • A good oxygen level is considered to be 88 or higher. Since her level is at 87 it might be time to consult with her doctor to see what the next steps are in her oxygen therapy.

          • Stephanie, the store isn’t allowed to say anything that could them in trouble, but I can. I am an oxygen user. Their article says “Below 88% becomes dangerous” and I agree. That is too low. Best wishes.

  4. I went to my dr for a check up and told her I give out of breath when I walk she ask me to come go walking with her she put a o2 thing on my finger and we started walking my o2 stoped she sent me to a heart dr all the test from that came back Good so what could it be.

    • We recommend that you if you feel like you are still having issues that you continue talking with your doctor. We are not doctors and can not guess what your issues might be.

  5. I’m a CO2 retainer when it rest I leave my oxygen at 1.5 L to L if I rest all day cuz I give my body throughout my body enough oxygen or am I depriving it of oxygen even if my saturation level reads 88 and above normally it stays around 95

    • A healthy oxygen saturation level is 95 or above. I would consult with your doctor about what he would like to see as your optimal oxygen saturation level.

      • Hello,,my oxygen level is always 92,,,but a little trip only at the bathroom,,it change to 88,,is that normal?

        • O2 levels will change with activity. Whether it is normal for you is something that your doctor will be able to help you better understand as everybody has different readings and conditions.

  6. Thank you so much for the valuable information. What should be the standard puls reading for someone who is hiking in high altitude over 5000m? Does it still apply the same ration between 95-100%? What is the safe amount of puls reading consider as a safety line?
    Thank you so much for your answer!

    • This can vary based on a number of factors. I would recommend talking with your doctor to find out what is best for you and your situation.

  7. Is the Oxygen level reader through samsung health on the phones with the sensor using the finger, usually accurate?

    • I would talk with your doctor to determine if he/she is comfortable with you using this. You can also look at checking the accuracy of it by using a pulse oximeter and compare the reading to the one on the Samsung.

    • I tried the Samsung pulse monitor and it read 3 pts. over what the drs reading was. I believe it is accurate. My exam was 8 am, the Samsung reading after 10 pm.

      • Our oxygen saturation level in the blood (SpO2%) change throughout the day. It is affected by the breathing rate, air quality, activity one is doing, and change in altitude, etc. A change of 3 points in 14 hours is not uncommon.

    • It may be time to revisit with your doctor and discuss your oxygen levels. You may need to increase the setting or if you are on pulse dose you may need to move to a continuous flow option. The best thing to do is to set up time with your doctor to discuss your current concerns.

  8. My father is 68 years old and has mild COPD. He was also heavy smoker but quit smoking completely 12 years ago. Today while checking his BP, nurse checked the oxygen level which was 95%. I just wanted to know if its low? Is there any cause of worry. BTW his BP was fine and pulse rate was around 84.

  9. There were some good questions. I have lived with a person on oxygen for a few years. From these questions, I mite as well take them to the Dr. Hers is 97, but on safe side I should take her. Not ask a question here but wait, the Dr does not have or live with a person on oxygen. All it is now is CMA. When it comes down to it. Believe me, my Dad just passed, he was shopping, driving, cooking and yard work. A cough started, after 4 Dr visits and 3 times taken to hospital. He died in 6 weeks. Lost 25 lbs, discharge from first 2 hospital visits in less than 24 hours with fluid in lungs, kidney infection very bad an could not stand on his own. He had very good insurance and a check book made of paper. Our system is broken. If I could write, I could write a book on how he was treated those 6:weeks and people would be shocked. He even had a home health nurse that was seeing him. That was a joke in it self. That’s why the Dr on here didn’t answer any questions. Scared of being sued. If you do the right thing and get sued, you will be ok. In this life or the next. These Drs that treated my Dad, well let’s just say theirs will be on the other side. Thanks

  10. My husband has severe cold and broncheasttis he has home oxygen for 15 hours daily on 2 litres. His oxygen reading at bedtime is about 90 so should I reduce oxygen to 1 litre to stop it going to high for him

    • Hi Rose, I would give his physician a call to discuss. With a cold and being on oxygen isn’t fun but before you adjust his oxygen, let the doctor know and provide some guidance.

  11. I live under 1,000 ft in elevation here in Northern California. I’m considering moving near my family into an area about 5,000 ft. I use an oxygen concentrator. Will it work the same in the higher elevation?

    • Yes. But depending on your prescription and machine, you may want to check in with who you bought your machine from and your doctor as to the potential adjustments.

  12. i been docs today my oxygen level is 95, is that good, i havnt been very well of late back pain, swollen left calf, which he says is ok, my wife noticed my bottom lip was going a bit blue, so doc did oxygen check

  13. I have been in severe pain with neuropathy and have just been laying around. Now I am very short winded and my oxygen level keeps running around 85. I have also lost 25 lbs do I need to go to the Dr?

    • We cannot give any medical advice; please consult with your physician or health care provider. They are the qualified experts to assess the condition and provide the treatment.

  14. I wish the Medicare system would update its requirement for portable supplemental oxygen. They still use elderly nursing patient standards. Not Baby Boomer activity levels. And demand a level of 86 before approving portable o2. I’d like to see them try to live an active life on 86 o2 saturation for any length of time.

    • Unfortunately many other patients feel the same way. There are some great lightweight machines with long battery life available that can make living with oxygen easier. Give us a call and we can give you more information on those solutions!

  15. Thank you for being here. Question: what is considered a dangerous pulse rate while checking ones o2 status? I also have Pulmonary Hypertension. Thank you.

    • The normal heart rate is between 60 beats per minute and 100 beats per minute. To understand the normal range of pulse rate for a particular condition, please consult with your doctor.

  16. I went to see my Neurologist and my pulse ox was 87 to 90 .My norm is 96 .They put me on nebulizer TX q 6 hours and there is no improvement .Still 87 to 90.He did a EKG and spirometry test. .He order a cat scan of my lungs looking for a PE.The joke is the hospital is trying to postpone the cat scan even though it order as a stat order. I almost think if I went to the. ER I get the cat scan.I almost want to tell my kids if something happens like respiratory arrest or a stroke. They should precede with legal action and sue them even if I am dead .

  17. Landed in the hospital about 10 days ago. Life flight flown. Pneumonia, empyema, collapsed lung, emphysema… I was at elevation of around 4500 ft at that hospital. I could barely hold safe numbers of o2 there and the drive home was over elevations of 8000 feet. There was a 3 day debate of sending me home on oxygen or not and the final call was to send me home with oxygen. I have a doctors appointment but it’s a week away. Received an in home concentrator and some mobile supply to get me through with no real medical guidance of what my o2 stats are doing now that I’m home at an elevation of around 6800 feet other than the hospital staff told me to not drive the 14000 foot elevation and drive an hour and a half out of the way and they could only guess the extra high altitude would probably affect me. I can sit very still without talking and maintain above 88% @ 86 bpm. Going from the car to the pharmacy and back to the car dropped my o2 to 38% @ 120bpm. Just standing up for too long and I’m in the high 70% range. What is the normal exercise o2% drop for someone of very good health and how long till organ damage roughly in people with those extream numbers? I understand I must go to the doctor but I was wondering about other cases in history maybe. I am also healing from the empyema and still have pneumonia that I’m on antibiotics for, any chance lungs of other cases have healed a bit and gotten better numbers than when being first released from the hospital? Not wanting to self diagnose at all but oxygen is a good way to blow yourself up was a big warning to me. Oversaturation was another warning as it can lead to bad symptoms apparently.

  18. When I was sleeping at high altitude, my SpO2 monitor showed my saturation went as low as 67%, and averaged 80%. Pulse average was 82. No shortness of breath. I felt fine in the morning. No symptoms other than feeling like I had a good sleep, so was a little groggy for 10 minutes after waking up.

  19. Thanks for the interesting article. It really helps to clear up the long question I’ve had as to why my mother was so scared when I had pneumonia about 6 years ago. I was with it for 2 weeks after waking up one Tuesday feeling drained and would through up any non soft foods. The only thing I could keep down was ramen. Since I was a kid, they sent me to the hospital with an O2 level of 86, but what scared my mom, was that one night, my O2 levels while in the hospital dropped to 74%. It was the closest I had in recording, been to death. I’ve always had a lingering question on just how bad that was and this helped clear it up. I’m much better now being almost 6 years later. Just had a question though on the adverse effects of having an O2 level of 74?

  20. Padezco de apnea del sueño. Me quedo dormida durante el día y despierto buscando aire porque me quedo sin aire, por la noche es lo mismo. Soy incapacitada.

  21. I had surgery over summer. I had to use oxygen when I slept because my oxygen blood would go down to 69-71 and the alarms would go if on me every night. I did a sleep study and had 22 apnia episodes per hour. I got a rental CPAP machine, but my episodes actually increased to 33-35/hour. I had been on oxygen at home until I got the CPAP. I’ve since found out that I have moderate to severe stenosis in my LAD, basilar arteries & left vertebral artery. I have an aneurysm in my right anterior ascending sorta & abdominal aorta. Nothing is stented. I am close to the level which requires stenting & Ann a stroke and heart attack risk. Because if this, I’m tempted to ditch the BiPAP they’re now having me try & go back to my oxygen. I am afraid that my blood oxygen could go lie and cause a heart attack or stroke. My sister said they should give me a machine which also provided oxygen. I don’t like the places I’m going to because they keep messing up, which makes me mistrust current treatment even more. Should I go back on oxygen to keep my heart and brain safer, or should I push for oxygen to be added to my BiPAP?

    • LOL Mine does the same thing Carolyn. I can get up and use the bathroom, mine goes down to the 60’s and 70’s. I sit back down and it comes back up.Mine used to come up to 92 in 2 minutes now it don’t rise as fast. Mine goes down into the 60’s sometime. I got covid back in Oct. 21 I’ve had effects from it ever since. My oxygen level still ain’t worth a diddly. I’ve been in the hospital 3 times with co-vid flu, and pneumonia. All my Dr’s said that I wouldn’t leave the hospital alive. I told them that they was crazy, and that I was going home. So here I am. My oxy level still ain’t worth a flip but I’m still here. I can’t advise you what to do but definitely think things thru. Make your own decisions. and go from there.

    • 94% SpO2 is considered below the normal range. If you are experiencing any symptoms such as shortness of breath or fatigue then please consult with your health care provider. We cannot provide medical advice.

  22. I have copd and emphasema as well as heart disease. Tonite especially I am having a very hard time breathingand it actually hurts to evhale. My finger pulse oximeter is going between 77 and 81. Is this serious?

    • Please contact your doctor immediately. The oxygen saturation is not in the normal range and you seem to require supplemental oxygen.

  23. I periodically take the oxygen concentrator off to take a shower or go to the bathroom. Am I hurting myself by doing this? I guess it depends on what my oxygen level is when I am off the oxygen, I also walk in the house without the oxygen at a fast pace to improve my breathing. Problem? When do you know when you can come off oxygen?

    • When you are off oxygen, periodically check your oxygen saturation via a pulse oximeter. If the oxygen saturation drops but the oxygen back on.
      Please take medical advice from your healthcare professional.

  24. I am on Oxygen 24/7 and have been for11 years. If I do a little to much of anything my oxygen drops way down. It has gone as low as 65 but comes back up pretty quickly.This happens very seldom and I don’t really worry about it.

    • Houston here. I’m on oxgn. also, my level goes down low like that also. But it comes right back up. I breath hard like a hunting dog, but I get to breathing normal again. My oxgn level stays around 94 when I’m sitting watching TV. But if I get up moving around it drops really fast. Oxgyn or not. I’m really short winded. My oxgn level has been down in the 50’s before, but has always come back up.

    • We cannot give any medical advice; please consult with your physician or health care provider. They are the qualified experts to assess the condition and provide treatment.

  25. I believe you have to be below 82 to get a DMV Placard (I Love mine). I read that you can go low, just don’t try to stay there very long. I hit low 70s everyday…but go to my Everflo (baby blue) Oxygen Concentrator ASAP without panicking, and recover very fast. I have a collapsed lung (that is re-inflating) and emphysema in both Lungs.

    • It’s important to follow the guidelines set by your doctor and the DMV regarding oxygen use and driving. While it may be possible to recover quickly when your oxygen levels drop, it’s still important to take precautions and avoid situations that could put you in danger while driving. Make sure to talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding your oxygen therapy and driving, and follow their recommendations for safe and effective management of your condition.

  26. Quick question, My mom has COPD, and Asthma, and always has problems getting out of breath just walking a couple feet, and whenever we tell her to get Oxygen, she says she’s tried, and they won’t give her a prescription for it. So, my question is. Are there specific reasons why a person can, or can’t get oxygen?

    • Our Oxygen Specialist would be happy to help you out with your requirements. We highly recommend to give us a call at (877) 644-4581.
