anyone have shortness of breath when on oxygen and walking

my situation is very similar to yours Diane. But I started physical therapy and the exercises help even though I have to stop and rest a lot. I didn’t even think I was capable of doing exercise, but it helps. My concentrator goes up to 10, but I keep it at five. The more I think about it your situation is much worse than mine. I hope you can find another concentrator . I’m sorry you’re having such a terrible time.

My concentrator goes to 10. I did go to pulmonary rehab some years ago and I loved it! I had to stop when getting to and from would have required assistance I couldn’t afford, so I bought a rowing machine that I placed right beside my bed. Was doing great with over 50 reps a day then Rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and wrists put a stop to that two years ago. With RA comes extreme fatigue so I pretty much spend my time sitting quietly with a good book (love to read!) or good TV show and right now, football!
