When On O2, Do You Place The Nose Inserts That Deliver The O2 Up Or Down?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been on O2 for 10 years and have always had the nose inserts facing up into my nose. A technician was here to check my O2 machine and told me that was wrong. The inserts should face down. I could feel the coolness of the O2 with them down but seem to get the same O2 readings whichever way I place them. I'm at the scary stage of copd and will appreciate input.

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was put on oxygen 24/7. i have been going to the pool in my city to swim 3days a week. to try and get back to O2 use only at night again.

Oxgen While Exercising
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

Currently at a rehab and respiratory theripst seems to feel we should try exercising without oxygen. I find it hard and my o2 drops and heartrate goes to high. Shouldn't we be exercising with out oxgen if our sats decrease on exertion?

Oxygen Use
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

While in hospital I'd wake up with pounding headache from oxygen also it smells terrible to me Does this happen to anyone else? Not looking forward to this

A MyCOPDTeam Member

Oxygen is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It’s the plastic supplies that you are probably smelling. That will wear out. Good luck to you!
