Hi everyone. I had a really bad chest infection at tbeginning of year, and my sats levels dropped. I had to come home on oxygen as still low and although improving not back yet. I get breathless on exertion. I just wondered if anyone out there is the same and still manages to drive. Would be very pleased to hear if you drive. Thank you.
