I'm really concerned about my mom's health. We've been checking her spo2 levels since August using a pulse oximeter, and while the rest of my family stays above 95, hers fluctuates between 89 and 92. It's October now, and the readings haven't changed much. I'm worried about what might be causing this and if it's indicative of any particular health issue. Could this be something serious?

Ive been having trouble breathing for the past few weeks, and being an asthma patient, Ive been using my inhaler and nebulizer like usual, but this time they dont seem to help. I recently got a chest X-ray, and while it looks okay, I noticed it mentioned PCOD. I also had a COVID infection back in June 2021. Im really worried and not sure what to do next. Any advice?
