Oxygen Asked April 2019

I would like to know different exercise to have more oxygen so I can get off the home oxygen I am on. Any suggestions?

 Have been on it for about 5 months.

If you are on oxygen because of lung issues, there are absolutely excercises you can do. Look in to Pulmonary rehab, it is specifically for people with lung conditions. My mother went through it and it made a world of difference! It can greatly improve your quality of life! My late MIL was supposed to go through it too but she didn’t and I do Believe had she gone through it, her quality of life would have been better and she may have lived a little longer.

JoAnn’s right. We don’t know your medical history. Even if we were medical professionals on this site or were on oxygen ourselves, it would be foolish and downright dangerous to tell you do any sort of exercise that might do you more harm than good. You need to speak with your doctor or a pulmonary therapist and find out what’s safe for you to do.

Not sure if there are exercises for this. Your on Oxygen because for some reason your blood isn't getting enough to carry it thru your system. Hemoglobin may be low. You may have COPD so lungs aren't getting enough. You have to find out why your on it.
