Anyone Else Have Good Oxygen Levels At Rest But Not When Moving?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I hate blood gas tests but they do them at rest which doesn't work for me as my oxygen levels come right down when I am resting. When I am moving they and pulse rate goes quite high.

Anyone else have this issue?

Oh my goodness! I have the same problem. I get aggravated because it seems like I can never get anything done. I dont know what to do to help. Tried walking slowly, but that doesnt last long. Any helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

@A MyCOPDTeam Member, i have similar problems...when at rest oxygen levels are fine and so is heart rate but as soon as i move i need oxygen on,think it just proves there is no two people the same with this disease.
