02 level falls walking while on oxy

It is NORMAL to need more O2 when exerting yourself—exercising, walking (which is exercise), even showering/bathing. Talk to your provider about what level of O2 you should maintain with your oximeter and try to stay in that range, even when it means bumping up your setting on your machine so you can exercise and carry out activities of your life.

Thanks so much . I am a little new to this . I have ILD and home after a bout of pneumonia in the hospital . I guess the bottom line is I am scared and depressed at the thought of oxygen 24/7 . So thanks for responding
