Explanation:
Hypoxemia is a condition where there is abnormally low levels of oxygen in the blood. Normally, it would force organs to work harder to extract the necessary oxygen supply from the blood. I would imagine the chest being compressed from the inside, thus making the chest appearing to sink down.
