Is this a serious issue
I'm a healthy 18 year old individual except that I've asthma and a weakened immune system.. I have been getting palpitations for about 2 months now, and doing a chest xray has diagnosed me with sinus tachycardia. Previously, readings on oximeter would show 99% Spo2 levels but lately it has declined down to 96%. Should that be a matter of concern since I have been noticing the decline for about some weeks now? I also suffer from shortness of breath lately and chest discomfort..

Hello. Sudden decrease in oxygen saturation associated with shortness of breath does warrant a detailed evaluation . Any history of asthma or any lung condition ? History of fever before the start of all this . Consider for a personal consult for detailed evaluation and treatment prescription
