It is very difficult to reply to a true or false question when discussing any medical condition, let alone when comparing two, because there are always shades of gray. For example, one can suffer from COPD & IPF at the same time.

Do you feel you or someone you know is being over- or under- treated with supplemental oxygen?

(IPF) Thank you for the link. Assuming it's IPF only, can you get too much oxygen? My question was really based on having to ask someone to turn up my oxygen concentrator if I want to move around and turn it down when not active. Multiple times a day, I could not find an oxygen concentrator that worked with a phone app which was surprising as it would be so convenient I am sure for many.
