Why would you put your oxygen tubing in a dryer w/a. Towel???
I've never heard of anyone doing this. Oxygen tubing gets stiff and hard with age from the oxygen going through it especially the canela. I just replaced it.
I use my nebulizer with oxygen as they do in hospitals,when my oxygen gets low this gives me necessary medication and brings my levels up.dr discorage this but i have only20% lungs that was three years ago,i am still not on oxygen,my levels usually hold at 92,but i cannot walk too far without stopping,ig it was not for nebulizer with oxygen i would have been dead.has anyone else doing this>
I have oxygen 24/7, do the nebulizer and two inhalers. My breathing is really bad. I walk a little then have to stop.
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
O2 tanks are prohibited on all flights. A portable oxygen concentrator must be FAA approved (most are). You will need to have battery capability for at least two times the duration of your flight… read more
Two nubulizer medicines,two inhalers plus’s oxygen when I’m on the move .also emergency inhaler as needed .
It's not a question of which is better; it's which do you need. If you have sleep apnea, you probably will need a c-pap. If you need 02 as well, you can attached the cannula to the c-pap machine.
Was put on oxygen 24/7 back in February when diagnosed with COPD. Has anyone been on oxygen & "improved" enough to go off oxygen?
Is there anyone out there on 7 liters of oxygen. I have to go that high on activity, and all the tanks out there will only last a very short time, very short. Was wondering if any of the portable concentrator a will go that high
