I am on supplemental oxygen but at times I get very short of breath although my oxygen saturation levels are okay. Why does this happen?

One can be short of breath even when oxygen saturation levels are okay, due to other factors, such as hyperinflation, retained carbon dioxide, and a flattened diaphragm, which increase the work of breathing.
