I’ve just been told I have asthma. I’m using oxygen now. My oxygen levels drop when I’m up moving around, walking.

Hi cemery and welcome. Everyone's asthma is different For some people, they find their oxygen levels do drop when they expend any type of energy. This may be the reason the doctor has you on supplemental oxygen. Please do check back and let us know how you're doing.
All the best,
