My Dr Wants To Put Me On O2 But I Feel Like I’m Not Ready And Breathing Fine. What Are The Pros And Cons.
My 02 levels are 85 to 99 during the day but dip at night. I get my readings from my Apple Watch.
Being on oxygen, I am at 93/94 ,which I find to be the best for me. You need to have yourself at a level with your oxygen. Once you try it,you won't regret it. You'll feel better.
Hi Lynne100,
Doctors are usually right,they must have tested your 02 saturation with a pulse oximeter on your finger,before making a decision.Did they ????
How long is 85% saturation goes on for 5 minutes or 1 hour???
If you feel breathless and tired then your body needs a additional O2 because of your lung damage.
With additional O2 it will make life better,with out it —-
Your choice.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member 85 is too low to spend very much time with. If it stays that low a lot of time your brain and body are not getting what they need to keep you healthy.
02 at night is easy to get used to and should be paid for you by Medicare or your insurance. I would also question the accuracy of your Apple watch, because 02 saturation is usually measured on a finger, not on your wrist.
