Although it's not fun having breathing problems, I'm so relieved that you don't have Pulmonary Hypertension. A heart cath is pretty absolute, so I was so happy to see that's what they did for you. Mine first showed up on an echo, and then through a heart cath.
Using Oxygen is a pain, but am grateful it's there. Do you have an Oximeter? If you don't, it might be a good idea to check into getting one. I have a BCI one, and what I did was take mine into my pulmos office just to check it against his. Here's a link. (in the link, I have the yellow one)

Remember anything above 90 is normal with Oxygen. And ofcourse no ones oxygen levels should ever go below 90.
I'm so thankful that PH isn't your problem. Do they have any idea why yours is dipping so low?
Some of the portable tanks are getting lighter, and are much easier to hang off your shoulders.
You are in my prayers.
