What Is Oxygen Therapy Really
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’m again back on oxygen therapy after a month in hospital on a different matter. Whilst in hospital my sats were up and down nurses were forever checking my sats and blood pressure as soon as sats got lower up the oxygen levels went then if sats were ok back down went oxygen levels.
