New Concentrator

The o2 delivery man was here this morning and tested my concentrator. He said there was basically room air coming from my old concentrator. He replaced it with a machine that has a light when it is low on oxygen and another light when the machine needs servicing.

My o2 stats have been 95 and above on 3 liters and I am feeling so much better. It is really amazing how much of a difference the new machine has made. I used that huge back up tank while I was sleeping last night and that was the first time I have slept all night and woke up refreshed.

Could this problem with the concentrator be the reason why it has been so hard for me to get over this recent exacerbation? I think so. Thanks everyone.

Linda

Just be sure you check connections and tubing if for any reason you aren't feeling so hot...it's amazing how often a fix is found by using a portable and checking out the connections.

Linda, it's quite possible that that was the main problem--you could say that the concentrator "exacerbated" it..
