90 is okay. I am glad they have been able to lower the rate for you.

Hello and welcome.

Why don't you give the help line a call tomorrow see if they can help you. Maybe when your mobile you need a little more oxygen, they told me to up mine when I'm active. Xxx

Hi and welcome countrydrms6.

Hello and welcome to this fab site. 90 is actually ok, as far as I understand anything under 88 is when we should get worried. That's usually when I find myself struggling. M

Hi welcome to the site ! I agree with Mocarey above - 90 is OK. I was speaking to a respiratory nurse when my husband was given oxygen and she said sometimes it helps people with breathlessness and sometimes it just does not but it is protecting vital organs. I would suggest you either ring your gp or perhaps ring the helpline I am sure they could give you some good advise. TAD xx
