What should I do if my oxygen saturation drops below 90%?

If your oxygen saturation drops below 90% during a Lift class, you should stop and rest until your oxygen levels raise back up to above 90%. We suggest using pursed lip breathing during rest. If your doctor has prescribed rescue medication, you should take it as prescribed.

If your symptoms persists for greater than 5 minutes after resting, we suggest that you call your doctor.

As always, we encourage you to talk to your doctor prior to starting any exercise program, including Lift Pulmonary Rehab.
