I would buy a second cheapo pulse oximeter and compared and contrast. If you're awake SpO2, breathing room air, is still hovering around 88%, then you have a health problem that needs addressing by a physician.

It's not normally that low. I do have an appointment with pulmonologist last Wednesday of this month.

To be clear it looks like the numbers are off from converting events that did happen to what could of happened had it been a full hour of time and pattern continued.

Are you going to do a recording at home on a full night at 10cm h2o?
