Could be, waay 31's sydney martin is live in huntsville after learning more about why the president's oxygen levels were a concern to his doctors... dr ali hassoun- told me an oxygen saturation level below 94 percent for a few hours would be concerning in any patient- and here in huntsville they would admit a coronavirus patient to the hospital - if they were exibiting that level.

Dr hassoun told me an indicator of a low oxygen saturation level could be shortness of breath- something we learned the president has experienced.

Hassoun told me a healthy rate is 97 percent--- and the president dipped below 94 percent..

Hassoun told me depending on a person's symptoms and a doctor's recommendation they can be given a high or low flow of oxygen..

"our oxygen is very important to put our lung function, our heart function, brain function.

To keep our organs functational you need what we call a saturation which is a level of oxygen in the blood."

Now hassoun told me seeing president trump walking around and doing things without shortness of breath is a good sign that he is feeling and doing better.
