Answer by sandy7970
oxygen saturation of 88% isn’t good. not sure exactly what kind of surgery you’re referring to, but he clearly needs some kind of help in order to breathe better. does he use oxygen at home? hope so.

Give your answer to this question below!

He said my oxygen levels were normal and that he prescribed a CPAP. If my oxygen levels were normal, is there any point in using the CPAP?
The doctor told me that I had apartial airway collapses during the sleep study.
