The last two times I went to my doctor my oxygen level was low when they were taking my vitals. The nurse told me to lift up my mask and take a couple deep breaths and instead of having a 91% level it went up to 98% where it usually is when I test it myself at home without a mask. I have excellent lungs and no respiratory problems. The nurse said that it was pretty common with patients when they take vitals.
