Recently I have started getting too much short of breathe. This use to happen mostly after meals but I have noticed the shortness of breathe and fatigue in between meals too. 6 months post Oesophagectomy, had Respiratory failure in ITU with pleuritic effusion on discharge, ECMO used.

Has anybody ever been prescribed with Home oxygen service to treat the breathlessness due to Oesophagectomy?
