Hi Dion3844o1 .

It is always a bit of a shock when our tests show a decline. Sometimes the tests show a genuine decline but other times certain circumstances can influence the results. If you've just recovered or a recovering from an infection , tight clothing, having a full tummy, even winter weather can narrow your airways further and even extreme fatigue can make influence results.

I think you were assessed for home oxygen therapy. Are you on oxygen now? Try not to panic as it will just stress you out and that is no good for your breathing or your general well-being. Winter is really the very worse time for us lungies. 😑

Please do keep us updated.

Thinking of you,

Cas xx 🌿🌷🌿

I have been 22% for quite a few years now and am happy with that, about 5 years ago i was down to 18%, i was concerned a bit but i then came down with bronchitis and after this cleared up went back up again, only thing i find is the weather plays pop with my breathing, e g to cold or to hot but just take one day at a time
