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

Hey, give your body time to recover! Often it can take weeks or even months for a full recovery. Use as much O2 as your body wants and hopefully as it gets more fully healed, your O2 needs may decline. I am guided by my oximeter—want to keep my brain & organs healthy.

I went on oxygen recently. I'm still scared. After a lot of tests, they said I have PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION. It is a big adjustment. But gets easier.

I am on 02 24/7 my doctor told me to increase it to 3 leters when I am walking and when I sit down to go back to 2 leters . Thats usually what the dr tells you Good luck
