Over the past few days I have encountered a rather sudden need for more oxygen from my concentrators to even get me close of minimum %.
Last week I was using 3 Liters close to 24/7 with short off periods for eating and bathing. If I got SOB then I used the lips pursed system of moving out CO2. A lot of humidity has moved into our area but our house does have central AC yet and I have needed to turn up my machines to 3.5 liters but they only keep me at 83-86%. I also now need a tank at the dinner table and also when I bathe. So my time off of oxygen has been reduced to practically zilch. Also my stamina is nearly zilch. I am hoping that I can return to lower levels with the weather changing.
Previously I could stay at 88-90 with 3 liters. Is the humidity affecting my increased need? I get a call every Tuesday from my Pul Clinic and I will report it to them this coming week but I have not really been happy with the way they operate. Thanks for any comments.
