Thanks @A MyCOPDTeam Member I spent 2 days in skilled nursing "rehab" 2 years and took myself out after 2 days because the food was inedible and I was told to pee in a diaper for both days. Nothing… read more
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.
Sending much love and God's blessings back to my dear/dear Warrior in Christ @A MyCOPDTeam Member! Hope your evening is going well, hon! :-)
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.
i started rehab last week and they told me it's not good to be off the O2 when i'm in the pool. i don't feel the need for O2 when i'm in the pool.
has anyone been ably to get off O2 use this way.
havent been on 02 yet , sorry cant help you any , good luck
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?
Yes. I use 2L us usually but my Dr said when moving around A lot or exercising I should be on three or four seems to keep my oxygen up

oxygen concentrator how many liter per should a person get i am looking at 1.5 lpm
Depends I’m on 1.5 as I’m a retainer of carbon dioxide any higher and no ventilator would kill me
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
Oxygen is colorless, odorless and tasteless. It’s the plastic supplies that you are probably smelling. That will wear out. Good luck to you!
