When I wake up nearly everyday I find my tubing has come off in the night ( the bit that goes up my nose , which leads me to having a panic attack searching for it ). It,s horrible, I was wondering if anyone of you great people out there could help me please with some suggestions how to stop losing this tubing in bed.Thank you all.

Speak to your oxygen supplier and ask to try different cannula until you find one that fits you better.

Next time they are delivering your cylinders let your engineer know because they have little plasters they can give you that will help hold it in place on your face

Or try putting it on round your head rather than round your ears like in this link

I put my oxygen on the same as in the video given by Mandy6513. It do this in bed and also during the day as it feels much more secure. It always stays in place in bed.

Sorry, I should have said the second method in the video, so the connection is at the back.
