WHY IS OXYGEN THERAPY RECOMMENDED ?
Many people suffer from heart, lung and other respiratory diseases. Most of these
people benefit from additional oxygen therapy. Our body needs constant oxygen to
function properly. Your doctor prescribes for supplemental oxygen because you can not
get enough oxygen in the ambient air. This additional oxygen will meet your body's oxygen
needs.
Supplemental oxygen is not addictive. Your doctor has prescribed a specific oxygen
flow to enhance symptoms such as headache, drowsiness, fatigue or increased irritability.
Contact your doctor if these symptoms persist after starting treatment.
