Hi Julie, I to came home with oxygen from the hospital in May of 23. I use mine pretty much 24/7. My O2 still drops upon any type of exertion. Just recently after my last 6 min walk test and three min step test I was told I had to use my POC at level 5 to make sure I'm getting enough oxygen when doing things. Most POC's only go up to a level 5. I had to purchase a Sequal 5 that the pulse level can go to 9 and also has a continuous flow that goes up to 3. I still use my large home concentrator and my small POC but depending on what I'm doing I need the larger POC which I call a "tow behind" because it is on wheels. PFT's are very important to get regularly to make sure your levels are good because I was surprised that they wanted me to use level 5 and how few POC's go up passed that level. Best of luck with your Oxygen Therapy. 🙂
It's great to hear that you're using your portable oxygen concentrator (POC) faithfully. Here are some key points to consider for your oxygen therapy:
1. Comfort: Ensure your nasal cannula or face mask is comfortable, as you'll be using it continuously. Nasal cannulas are generally more comfortable for long-term use.
I have a concentrator that I can move around the house. I bought an inogen 3 years ago. I was 220th on a list to get a PC, so I bought my own.
Thank you, I also have a concentrator upstairs and one downstairs as well as tanks for back up. Im careful to watch my poc battery too and charge when not using or driving.
