Hi I have been on oxygen for over a year now 24/24 i been working hard on losing weight, rehab, and doing what is asked from me, they check often but i wonder, can one ever get to get off oxygen or is it to stay.
Hi, @A MyCOPDTeam Member, I would like to know what your doctor says. So far I'm doing well. Every now and then my throat feels raw and I don't know what that is unless it's bronchitis. After one or… read more
I have a gas stove so have purchased an induction hot plate which is much safer. I also use an electric grill and an air fryer.
When power goes out it turns on itself
I don’t understand when people say they are on oxygen 24/7, then talk about mowing the yard or working in the garden. I have to sleep with mine on, and wear all day.

I have been waking up lately gasping for air. My lung doctor has ordered a sleep test. My question is. Could COPD and oxygen 24/7 lead to sleep apnea? I am already retaining CO2. Just wondered what the possibilities could be. Thanks!
In answer. Yes, My wife does sleep with me and we both use a C.P.A.P machine when we head for a nap or head for bed and ( hopefully) will get a good nights sleep. Merry does well in that department as… read more
I also get very tired all the time and am on o2 24/7 at 8 litres. When I eat I get like I am choking but can't bring anything up. Sometimes I will throw up mucus. Is this normal?
