My levels on oxygen are 86 normally they are 93 to 95 on oxygen. I don't feel as if I'm having a flare up. I just feel dizzy and breathless.

I am normally 95 but this week have dropped down to as low as 78 but seem to average at 89 at the moment I seem to have been 95 at rest but that will drop on exception ( going up stairs) I think the weather and the high pollen count has not helped.

I would also get in touch with GP if you are feeling dizzy.

Be Well

I am not sure your GP will have the expertise for this; did I read you are waiting for transplant? In that case I would get in touch with the hospital team, or talk it over with BLF helpline. I can't see a post saying what your illness is.....

Gill Good luck !

Hi what problem you have. The doctor recommend to take Oxygen for 15 hours a day. Please clear it. I am a ILD patient and my treatment is from AIIMS, New Delhi. I am 24 hours on contineous home therpy oxygen. without taking oxygen my level of oxygen is 70-75 with taking oxygen it is 85-90. i take oxygen from 20th May,2010. My suggestion is that you consult your doctor and dont worry.

My levels are normally 93 with Oxygen at night into a BIPAP machine & Spiriva and Advair in the morning. They want me 96 to 98. A nurse told me 98 is the norm.
