What suggestion to help me? When I stand my oxygen levels will drop

@crystalena I use an inogen 5000 and it goes to 5. They work differently from the auto one in your home. That one and oxygen bottle push the air flow continually. The portables only work when you are inhaling. You have to be careful to inhale through your nose. and no they are not as good as the electric operated or bottles.

@jerdonus I had a portable that did not deliver enough oxygen for me. It was an enogin . I always inhale through my nose , I need 4 ltrs - 24/7. I prefer the tank. I need my oxy to stay at good levels. I was very frustrated with settings on the portable. I did use it on pulse . There are no settings for liters. They were just numbers on a dial . If I turned it up to 5 or 6 , it pulled in more outside air and was unable to separate the oxygen .
My levels actually went down. And they are noisy. I feel safe with my tank. I am not a fashion fuddy duddy. It is just fine . I do very well with it. I don’t go out much and I like it that way . I have spent a great deal of time in my life being alone . I do not entertain people at my home . I really don’t want to be exposed to them. So far , I have every thing I need . Thank you all for input. I do appreciate it. Peace and Love, Crystalena
