Supporting Lung Health with Oxygen Therapy
For people living with COPD and other chronic lung diseases, managing symptoms can be challenging. Access to the right resources and tools, like oxygen therapy, can help improve your quality of life by giving your body the extra oxygen it needs. *Oxygen therapy must be prescribed by your doctor. Please talk to your healthcare provider to see if oxygen therapy is right for you.
How Oxygen Therapy Can Help
Chronic lung diseases can limit the ability to breathe freely, which can affect everyday activities and overall well-being. Oxygen therapy can help by:
- Giving you more energy to do things you enjoy.
- Making breathing easier by improving your lung function.
- Helping you sleep better so you wake up feeling more rested.
- Letting you stay active and keep your independence.
For many people, oxygen therapy becomes an important part of their health plan and provides them with the support they need to live a healthier lifestyle.
Understanding Your Oxygen Therapy Options
If you or a loved one has been prescribed oxygen therapy, it is important to know that there are several options available, including:
- Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POCs): These small, easy to carry machines let you move around freely while getting the oxygen you need.
- Stationary Oxygen Systems: There are designed to stay in one location for when you are resting or sleeping, providing a steady supply of oxygen.
Each option is designed to fit different needs. Be sure to talk with your healthcare provider to choose the best option for your lifestyle.
