I am so thankful to have found this video. It is helping me cope with recently diagnosed breathing problems. Much gratitude to the people in the film and to the film makers.
@@alexvikendi1768 My shortness of breath is caused by orthopedic problems--there's not enough room in my chest for my lungs to fully expand. It's gotten worse as I've gotten older. I thought it was allergies, was totally blown away when the doc prescribed oxygen.
I had a neighbor that I built an oxygen pillow for that helps with their sleep. If anyone is interested in trying one to give me feedback I will send you one for free.
very disappointed you did not mention the dangers of using too much oxygen especially for people with COPD who are CO2 retainers. Wish this information was required to be given to each and every person who is put on oxygen. It could save a lot of lives potentially!
For healthy person don’t inhale pure oxygen more than 1to 2 minutes in 24 hours.even for patients don’t use pure oxygen.60 to 70 % can be taken for longer periods
They start u out on a flow rate of 2 liters. Use your finger monitor to watch you blood oxygen move up! It only takes half a minute to go from s 89 to 94 then 98! Falling below 88 starts damage to your body. Some muscle aches usually occur but otherwise you don’t really feel to different. Google. For more info
I was given a Cpap machine and later an oxygen tank; my other Dr. said I would die quicker, if I used the Oxygen machine. Does anyone know why he said that? He also told me not to use medforman for my diametes because I have tumors in my kidneys and cancer in the left one. I believe he was right about that because last time I took !/2 a pill, I could not pee for several days. The oxygen was for low oxygen levels , Sleep A., and conjustive heart failure. Docs. ??
man oxygen would keep cells healthy and lack of oxygen would affect the organs of the body and the brain that sends blood and oxygen mainilor și oicioarelor
I think what he was saying was that u need the 02 but without using the cpap machine that it could kill you as it removes the c02 that you’re building up as you sleep
Hi there 🙂 I am a 25 years old male and I am a smoker but I am active and started gyming often & my dad has a heart disease because of type two diabetes and he has a machine that converts water to oxygen and he also has a oxygen tank, he uses the oxygen tank only, would it be good for me to use the oxygen machine during resting after exercising???
I think you should quit smoking so you do not end up like your father. Says the former smoker of 39 years whos now on oxygen and kinda wishes her life was over.
@@perisword7918 my dad actually never smoked surprisingly.. And I really have been trying to stop I actually bought a new vape today 🙄 but I actually have some worse smoking habit ☹️ habits that are way harder to quite than cigarettes, I really need help hey omg... I haven't slept in or eaten in 3 days 🥺 I really need to get my mind and life in order, thank you for your advice and I wish for you to feel better and have a smile on your face no matter what 🙏♥️
@@CarsPaint I'm 30 years old and have smoked for about 13 years. I recently have been put on oxygen. I was very active and went to the gym and that did not make a difference. Quit while your ahead. No excuse of how hard it is to stop will seem truly that difficult when you have to wear oxygen 24/7.
I just want to know if there are benefits to breathing oxygen like this to people who are completely healthy or if it does nothing. I assume it does nothing but I want to know lol
The oxygen from the tank or concentrator is very dry, and most people need moisture in their sinuses to feel OK. Try using a humidifier in the room you inhabit most. I sometimes wake with a dry sinus headache and cure it by cranking up my humidifier and directly inhaling the moistened air for a minute or two.
Medicare does cover 80 percent of the cost for a home system or a portable system (powered) but not both. I have a home concentrator and tank filler paid for by Medicare and my insurance company. I also bought a portable carryable concentrator for $2250 which was a big discount over the normal $3200 price.
Hi Gina, do you need oxygen concentrator for home use or portable with Battery? Here is our website: dedakjoxygenconcentrator.com/ we can deliver the device via DHL door to door.

“Pure” oxygen puts you in a modified state of being so it can be classified as a drug. Other things like Nutmeg can be considered a drug as well because it can act as a hallucinogen.
@@tinpin609 ...They didn't say "pure" oxygen is a drug, you are changing the narrative. Oxygen is NOT a drug. It may be classified by the FDA under "drug" in order to prescribe and regulate it when higher than normal amounts are used for medicinal purposes. The whole atmosphere has oxygen (drugs)?🤣🤣🤣 The FDA also classifies nitrogen, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, helium, carbon monoxide which are also in the air as medical gasses (drugs). I guess all humans, animals and plants are drug-addicts.🤣🤣🤣
@truth1844 Thank you for correcting that rubbish.👏🏽👏🏽 Sheep people believe everything American “authorities” (who are nothing but regular folks creating ways to monetize everything) tell them. “Oxygen is a drug” yeah right! 🙄
Hai @american Lung Association, I am sorry, I wanna ask your permit for use footage 5-7 second for my video about climate change campaign. I will input your name in my credit title video. Thank you
Its not a drug but you can get a "high" sensation if you use it in excess. Thats what the oxygen masks are for in airplanes, in case of a crash, people are in panic and breath hard on that pure oxygen giving them a high sensation, and in case of a crash they will be in no pain from that excess of oxygen until they finally manage to die.
Alex Lex - What if there’s no crash and all the passengers get high with all that extra oxygen and the don’t wanna leave the plane after it lands?? 🤔 hmm...

Monkey hear, monkey do. No one is talking about oxygen free radicals and slow gradual oxygen toxicity. And will never talk because apparently the flow setting is given by the medical provider and it's assumed nothing can go wrong. Like magic.
Slow gradual oxygen toxicity ? Can you explain? My brother in on oxygen for the first time and I’m panicking to see him like this! So it’s oxygen therapy bad in your opinion?
@@nik0001-d6i No it's not bad altogether. When more oxygen is supplied, our body metabolizes oxygen at much faster rate which leads to increased Oxygen free radical production. Our body has mechanisms to handle these free radicals using antioxidant enzymes, which are produced at a finite rate and at a break point the free radicals are overwhelmingly more in number that they start damaging the alveoli. Most of the studies for oxygen toxicity are done in terms of 48 to 72 to 100 hours. And reasonably getting oxygen therapy is very beneficial if it's for a couple of days provided that the O2 percentage is not high like 90%. That's why the general practice is to start at a particular O2 percentage and decrease it gradually to a point that they can be weaned off O2 support, so that they sustain good oxygen saturation levels at room O2 levels. But the problem is when the patient is on O2 for weeks together. This is a problem in countries like India where the sheer number of Covid patients means that not everyone can be given individual monitoring by a medical personnel.
@@king0s Thanks so much for the Explanation! My brothers was having symptoms and came out positive with Cov19 and while home his Saturation was 87-89% for 2 days, thus after being in the hospital for 3 days, he was sent home with an an Oxygen Concentrator. The doctor prescribed the sup O2 until his O2 levels would reach to 95%.. My brother's O2 is now 91-92% he's being in the oxygen for 3 days... I do understand what you said about the free radicals and how the body is supposed to dealt with it, and I think that I also understood you correctly when you said that is not good for him to be in the O2 for many days as this may increase toxicity, Correct? I will search for those studies you've mentioned as i want to know what will be best for him. Thanks for your replay!
@@king0s good info. I have COPD and emphysema. There were times when I was desperate to breathe. When the emt came he gave me oxygen and it immediately relieved my deadly attack. I became peaceful and more relaxed. I consider that administration of oxygen as what contributed to my not dying which everyone said I should have. I recently bought an oxygen concentrator for times when I get anxious about breathing and can't catch my breath. Just having it available relieves my mind. I use it perhaps two or three hours total per day. I'm happy that the amount of liters was mentioned as I had it turned up too much. It's to me a wonderful assuring item to have for my condition. My regular doctor wouldn't give me a prescription because he's not a "specialist". What ever happened to just being a doctor. Geez. But your info was helpful. 😊
@@marglam6123 foarte bine că iei oxigen la fel iau și eu de 1an și 2 luni nu te lua după toți proștii care zic că oxigenul nu este bun la noi bolnavii cu oxigen daca era și el așa nu mai vorbea aiure
