Hello CSimms452 .

I'm not quite sure what you mean by slowing down, and oxygen on 4%? I am having brain fog at the moment so, sorry for sounding daft.

My hubby is 18 years of having COPD now on oxygen. Do you use oxygen?

CSimms452 do you mean that hubby is on 4 litres per min Oxygen and it is not really helping?if so please ask your respiratory team/oxygen nurse to review hubby who may need a higher flow rate now that time has progressed after initially going on oxygen........regards Ski's and Scruffs x
