Fiddlchik Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Is anybody out there using oxygen on a regular (home use) basis?I'm doing better these days, but the biggest problem I'm having is episodes of panting/SOB that leave me pretty weak and definitely uncomfortable. I can technically get air in, but it's not enough to get over the light headed feeling.I keep thinking that if I had some Ox around to take at the beginning of those spells, I could head them off at the pass so to speak. Any thoughts?Thanks,alana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJVDK Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hello,I use oxygen when needed, (2 liters) About 8 months ago I use it all the time, when I was in the wheel chair I could not do anything without getting winded. My doctor order it as it for me as it did help. I also have culster headaches so the oxygen help with those. My insucane covers it because the headaches.

Fiddlchik Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 How much does it end up costing you? I don't know if it would be covered by Anthem, but I think it would still be worth it.Now I just need to find a Vegas doctor who believes in POTS (my dx-ing doc is back in Cleveland).Hello,I use oxygen when needed, (2 liters) About 8 months ago I use it all the time, when I was in the wheel chair I could not do anything without getting winded.
