Have a chat with respertory nurse for advice. I have a small oxygen bottle when I go out its a pulsar one so for me the bottle last for some time.. I get mine through hospital and bayswater. Take care.x

Get in touch with your respiratory nurse and she / he will help get you sorted out with your ambulatory oxygen needs.

Speak to your oxygen supplier as mine have supplied me with a conserver which makes my oxygen last double the time

I would also be very interested for my wife.

A conserver would not be any good as it is not freeflow,nor a pulsar .

Ask your oxygen nurse/doctor they’ll set up everything you need for free, you don’t need to buy but make sure you tell them that it’s affecting your quality of life and your mobility. Good luck. Joy.
