how low does ones oxygen

I recently did the home sleep test which came back that my oxygen levels dropped often enough throughout the night to warrent doing the 2nd phase of the sleep apnea test at the hospital. My question is, what wouldbe considered "bad enough" to do the next test? What percentage would ones oxygen levels have to be at? Thanks much in advance:)

Hi, thank you for your comment. I didn't ask. I am going to get a print out of my results on Monday to find out. I just didn't know so was inquiring in the meantime:)

Mine drops to 94% when I fall asleep, which is enough to cause me to wake up gasping for breath. Sometimes it dips to 91 or so. How low are yours? My Dr. said anything above 90 was not dangerous.
