  5. I've been keeping an eye on my Spo2 levels and they're usually at 98, but I've noticed that when I sleep, my oximeter shows it drops to 94. Then, when I wake up, it goes back to 98. Should I be concerned about this fluctuation? Is it normal for my oxygen levels to dip while I'm asleep, or is there something specific I should be looking into?
