The body needs there to be a certain level of oxygen in the blood or it will not function as efficiently. If your oxygen saturation is above 95 you are generally ok but if it drops at rest between 90 and 94you are entering somewhat of a caution zone, if it drops below 90 that a red zone where you are Cleary hypoxemic (Hypoxemia is an abnormally low level of oxygen in the blood. More specifically, it is oxygen deficiency in arterial blood. And at this stage you should seek medical attention.
