Do you have a community respiratory nurse you can call on, or I would ring the BLF helpline they would know how to advise you.

Hi - my husband is on oxygen, recently had a re-assessment and has had to increased the flow rate for much the same reasons- he has pulmonary fibrosis. Are you in the UK? Does your Mom have COPD? Take care - good luck Gill
Hi, - can only say what others have said ask to see her Doctor or respiratory nurse. It might also be useful to ring the BLF helpline (I think you need to click on the red balloon) Good luck TAD xx
I think your mother needs her blood gases checked as low oxygen sats can indicate CO2 retention or infection or both please contact her respiratory team.
Best wishes
Jo
