Hi, I am Margaret.
I have COPD for over 20 tears, U an biw 96 yrs old wi th arthritis that comes and goes. But my question now is if I am using a concentrator, Tr elegy and the puffer Albuterol i use the concentrator hen I get up in the morning until after breakfast, then T relegy. I monior my oxygen level and if it goes below 93 I use the Albuterol or the concentrator. Sometimes these two things overlap and I wonder if it t possible to get too much ox y gen to my lungs. I am not an active person and my exercise is with a walker around the house.

Very helpful to know you have had COPD for 20 years-it gives me hope as I was designated a few years ago after covid episode. I am only 82 and looking forward to much more life. God bless!

@margaret96 yes you can get to much oxygen. Set your concentrator on what ever your doctor tells. I use oxygen 24/7 but I only have my concentrator set on 2 or 3 when active. I did not understand what you meant when said you only use your concentrator or your Albuterol . Don’t you use your concentrator all the time? Then your rescue inhaler (Albuterol) when short of breath? I thought 89 is when you get concerned? Not sure I helped you but good luck
