Sounds very frightening. In general, most people maintain an oxygen level during normal conditions (e.g. not on Mt. Everest) of over 95% regardless of their activity. Dropping into the 80’s – hypoxemia – could be a sign of a serious condition. These may include structural heart disease (septal defects, valve disease), structural lung disease (e.g. pulmonary fibrosis), pulmonary hypertension, blood clots, and ateriovenous malformations.

Your doctor might start by obtaining an echocardiogram, which uses ultrasound waves to take a "picture" of you heart. This may provide you with an idea of what may be wrong. Additional tests may include chest CT, cardiac catheterizations, and biopsies.

It is important that you seek medical attention.

have you had your blood checked? you could be anemic (low iron levels in blood stream). this sounds a lot like anemia!
