RV Systolic dysfunction and Oxygen

My cardiologist sent me to a pulmonary specialist. I saw him yesterday, and when he heard that I take periodic breaks when walking we walked down the hall while he measured my blood oxygen. It turns out I need oxygen for exertion. Now I do testing to find out why. He is arranging for home oxygen. Anyone here need oxygen post CABG?
