Hello CSimms452 .

I'm not quite sure what you mean by slowing down, and oxygen on 4%? I am having brain fog at the moment so, sorry for sounding daft.

My hubby is 18 years of having COPD now on oxygen. Do you use oxygen?

Yes, I started using it about a year and a half ago. 😊

CSimms452 do you mean that hubby is on 4 litres per min Oxygen and it is not really helping?if so please ask your respiratory team/oxygen nurse to review hubby who may need a higher flow rate now that time has progressed after initially going on oxygen........regards Ski's and Scruffs x
