View allI'm trying to understand what the normal SpO2 level should be for a healthy person. If someone has a reading of 95 or 96, is that still considered normal, or is it lower than what it should be? I'm a bit concerned about the implications of these values.

I'm really concerned about my mom's recent x-ray report. It shows that both of her hila are congested. She had breast cancer about five years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy, but has been doing well since then. Now with this new x-ray showing congestion and her having some breathing problems, I'm pretty worried. Can you help me understand what this might mean?
