Your OXYGEN saturation DROPS when flying! (blood SpO2 science test)

What happens to your body during air travel? And why do you often experience discomfort while flying? That is the question I seek to answer in this video. I performed several measurements while flying that might explain why you and I experience discomfort in an airplane. I will also discuss some of the science behind this, and specifically I’ll focus on how the lower air pressure in the plane causes a reduction of oxygen in your blood. I found that while flying the amount of oxygen in my blood actually decreases to an amount where normally people in the hospital would be given extra oxygen.
