<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I took a test to see what my oxygen levels were during the night. The test showed that I woke up as many as 18 times and my oxygen level dropped into the eighties and sometime as low as 74. I dont feel any of the effects of this. Is this something I should worry about Emerson  <response>: Hello dear Emerson Thanks for using Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query thoroughly. This seems in relation with shallow breathing most probably in association with underlying stress, anxiety issue. Not to worry but require physician consultation for anxiety management. Deep breathing exercises , walking in fresh air , YOGA will help you tremendously. - Avoid stress, anxiety, smoking, alcohol. Hope this will help you for sure. Welcome for any further doubts.
