I would recommend calling you oxygen nurse tomorrow, bad headaches and tiredness could be a sign of CO2 retention. If She starts to get confused of disorientated please seek help. Best of luck and hope she is okay .x

It is usually a sign of c02 retaining, seek advice from nurse, some machines can have a humidfier attached to it to help with the dryness
