is it ok to exercise with oxygen on...

That will depend entirely on what your doctor/nurse has advised. Many do exercise whilst using oxygen but this may not be safe for everyone. Check with your oxygen prescriber for advice.

I always exercise with oxygen if needed the respiratory nurse to use if needed with exercise

Yes Art pats although probably best just to check with your provider/doc. I have been told to turn mine up when exercising, I certainly couldn't exercise without my oxygen.

If you do PR, you will find quite sa few folk doing the full exercise routine with oxygen.....some even come off oxygen when they finish PR because they have improved so much. If you are on oxygen, the need to exercise is exactly the same as without it....you cannot improve muscle tone and breathing without exercise...

Walking is good exercise and you can take your oxygen with you if you have a suitable back pack.
