I was under the impression from reading on this forum that breathing problem in ALS don't affect oxygen saturation, only CO2. Was at the hospital for several hours today to deal with a port issue. The nurse noticed my oxygen saturation would go down to the 80s (lowest was 81) then a few minutes later back up to 90s, where it hovered around 95. Then after a while it would drop again, then go back up again. She asked if I've experienced this before and if it is normal for ALS.
This has never happened to me before, in the past it has always been 100.
Thoughts??
