Yes, dizziness can be a concern for people with severe COPD who use oxygen therapy. Some MyCOPDTeam members have reported experiencing headaches and dizziness while using oxygen. It's important to monitor your oxygen levels - a good saturation number is typically between 90-92%.

If you're experiencing dizziness, it's essential to:
• Check your oxygen flow rate is correct
• Use a pulse oximeter to monitor your oxygen levels
• Keep track of when dizziness occurs
• Report these symptoms to your healthcare provider Given your limited mobility due to your sacrum injury, it's particularly important to work closely with your healthcare team to optimize your treatment plan. Some MyCOPDTeam members have found that adjusting their oxygen levels with their doctor's guidance has helped improve their symptoms and ability to move around, even if only for short distances.

Consider discussing with your healthcare provider about whether your current oxygen settings are optimal for your needs, especially given your mobility challenges.
