Perhaps you need oxygen. I have tanks which I can take outside the house, and a machine at home that plugs into the electricity and separates out the 21% oxygen in the air and delivers it by tubing into your nose. It was prescribed by The Royal Brompton Hospital. I have different rates of oxygen (litres a minute) when walking and when sitting and sleeping. Lots of people on HealthUnlocked BLF use oxygen.

Not what you're looking for?
