You don't want your O2 level to get below 88. That's the golden number before you need supplemental oxygen. You should see your doctor or pulmonologist and have a six minute walk to see if you need to be on O2. If you already are then it should be raised to keep your saturation up.
You can damage other vital organs with it so low.
