Low oxygen during daytime.

I'm 27 years old and have mild sleep apnea. I also use the CPAP. During the day my heart sometimes beats faster than normal. So I decided to put on my pulse oximeter when that happens. Apparently my oxygen drops to between 80% and 85% for a while, that causes my heart to beat much faster, then it goes back to normal levels (95% and higher). This happens quite throughout the day.

Should my CPAP be adjusted? Not sure what's going on. I'm going to be seeing my ENT in a few weeks and will bring this up with her as well.

Any help is appreciated.
