Sats below 91% (my doc's said) can cause irreversible lung damage. It causes capillaries to hemorrhage which causes the damage. It is highly critical to keep your O2's above this threshold for this reason. It is very important, especially if you are getting a hint of blue in your lips or fingers, to get checked out. Be proactive. It will benefit you in the long run. It is normal for your O2's to drop while laying on your back such as when you are sleeping, but here too, it is important that they stay up above that 91% area. I know I usually drop about 6-8% when laying down. I don't really know what's normal. My docs required me to be on home oxygen until my sats were above 91%, and even then, I was on O2 at night while sleeping until they maintained above 91% also.
