If I was still a paramedic and was called to your home I would definitely take you to the ER. They have stronger medicine and they will make you more comfortable. Be safe not sorry. Please go. This is my first time on My COPD Team. You have me commenting already.

65 is a very low level, are you sure your oxymeter is correct? I have three finger type and they sometimes give me false readings. With level that low, you sure would be fighting to catch your breath. I sometimes feel like I have sob but check my oxymeter readings and they are in the mid 90's. Stress is a big contributor to shortness of breath.

Would urge you to see a doctor or go to the ER.65 is very dangerous to your vital organs.what readings are you having now?

You need another opinion; 02 levels of 65 are not good. See your doc or go to the ER, one or the other. Get rid of the bug, then the mucus will begin to respond to things like mucinex, lots of water, huff cough, aerobika or acapella, percussion and postural drainage.

Have you tried nebulising?
