racing heartbeats, low oxygen and infection

@wangling have you and your doctor discussed short term supplemental oxygen while you are battling your current infection? A low dose may help with your heart rate. I believe for most insurers you have to be below 89 to qualify, but if you are borderline it might be something to consider with your doctor. I am not on oxygen at this time but have a resource for an online vendor that comes highly recommended for those paying privately. Let me know if interested and I will dig it out (resource from my pulmonary therapists).

@bayarea58, thank you.
It is interesting that you mentioned. I have been thinking about the same thing. I mentioned it to my pulmonologist. He doesn't think I need it now. But I think it is something nice to have just in case. I wonder if we purchase by ourselves, where to get the oxygen? Anybody use it occasionally to share the experiences?
