I'm not on oxygen because when I did my walk test on the oxygen it still dropped too quick, my resting oxygen is 91% and when I used the oxygen it didnt make any difference.

Ah I hope your walk test goes well for you. Best of luck to you.

Did they prescribe oxygen? So far I've been able to sufficient O2 levels both at rest and with activity. However, there are times when I get very winded with activity. I have a 6MWT coming up within the next several weeks I'm a tad anxious about.
