Been a member on here for a while but I’m an ant social lol. I have had COPD for about 7yrs. I am on 2 inhalers plus tablets, get out of breathe very easily. Drives me mad but it is what it is.

I can do much more with a O2 cylinder then i can at home with my concentrator. With bottles I can go for walks and even shopping, but at home with the concentrator my O2 drops to 80's just walking to kitchen. My bottle I set on 5 liters and concentrator is set on 7 liters.
