6 Min Walk Test

Hello all,

I had to go for a six minute walk test following ongoing bouts of breathlessness, amongst symptoms. When I did the walk todayI noticed my oxygen level dropped as low as 91.

When I asked the nurse about this at the end of the test the nurse said it shouldn't go that low but she could not comment more and I should wait to hear from my doctor who had requested the test.

Now I am getting myself very anxious that when I am moving about my o2 level is dropping without me realising and this is why I feel unwell. I no longer wear my fit bit as when this started I was getting overly anxious checking my heart rate and o2 level and it was not great for my mental health.

Anyone have similar experiences or have had this test and can tell me what there levels were / the doctor follow up?

Grateful to hear any experiences!
