Hi, I'm doing some research on this, and wondered if anyone could help.
Are there things apart from breath holding that could cause o2 sats to drop?
Like, what % would exercise decrease it by?
Are there meds that affect it?
Is there a particular style of breathing that would cause it to drop quickly?
Any help would be much appreciated
 
It's still breath holding, but empty lung statics will drop your O2 quicker.
 
Pulmonary oedema and probably quite a few other medical conditions. It stays pretty high during exercise, unless of course you're holding your breath.
