I have been on the forum for awhile now

Not one for texting just like reading comments

I have COPD angina

I am on 2 L of oxygen

I seem to be using more oxygen than usual

I am going to phone nurses today

To see if I can get a portable oxygen machine

Was at hospital yesterday my oxygen level was

87 A little bit worrying

Hi

Welcome, seems you may be due a Oxygen review, they like you to be in the 88/92 range or higher.

Are you on long term oxygen therapy or just Ambulitory.

They can supply a portable if suitable, pulse only. Slightly heavy at 3.2kg

You may consider liquid oxygen. Which offers similar flexibility.

Sorry to sound thick but what is liquid oxygen I have oxygen machine in house and bottles for walking about I seem to be going through a lot

Hi

Oxygen in liquid form. Changes to gas at room temperature,supplied in a [tank ]Dewar from which you self fill a portable flask. Depending on flow rate and delivery system can last longer than cylinders or portable.

A v5 Machine in the house And 4 portable oxygen bottles The oxygen bottles would last me Long Who do I need to see for liquid oxygen can I get it or not

Hi

You would have to speak to your respitory team or oxygen team who originally ordered your supplementary oxygen. For suitability. Can be done at same time as oxygen review.
