14 hours per day oxygen

I am now on 14 hours per day 4 ltrs and on the brink of it being 24/7

My question is what is the prognosis when you are on oxygen at this rate?

This started after Covid in July.

Thanks

Hi Annieosb,

I feel for you. It’s all a bit of a pain isn’t it ?

Perhaps your Doctor can give you a firm prognosis ?

All I know is that 02 user or not keep yourself as well as possible. Appropriate exercise helps the muscles, especially the larger muscles metabolise oxygen much more efficiently and helps the body more efficiently. A low carb diet can be helpful as well. Less load for the body.

Hope it is a good while before you have to use it 24/7

Go well.
