They put us in Oxygen when our blood oxygen count is consistently low (below 88 I believe) I'm not on it yet and I am in no hurry to go on it because once you do, your on it for the rest of your life. My mother was on it for the last 10 years or so of her life, She lived to be 87 with Emhazima, I am only 64 and I an trying to get better and stay off oxygen as long as I can and I pray to live as long as she did. I'll find out if I'm qualifies for Sugery to get Zephyr Valves early next month🙏💕🙏🙏🙏🙏
