I'm really concerned because Ive been checking my spo2 with a pulse oximeter every day, and its always around 98 or 99. But last night, I suddenly woke up and when I checked, my spo2 had dropped to 81. It went back to normal in just a couple of minutes. This is worrying me a lot because I had a chest x-ray done two months ago and everything looked fine. What could have caused this sudden drop?

I've been having this really intense pain on the upper right side of my chest when I wake up in the morning, and it's got me a bit worried. I'm not sure if it's my lung or something else, but it's bad enough that I can't really move until later in the day when it seems to get a bit better. Could this be something serious or just how I'm sleeping? Any advice on what I can do to stop it from happening?
It sounds like the pain might be related to muscle strain or poor posture during sleep, especially if it improves as the day goes on. However, if it persists or worsens, its important to get checked by a doctor to rule out any underlying issues, such as lung or heart problems. In the meantime, try adjusting your sleep posture and incorporating stretches to relieve tension.
