I don't know of any adverse effects from 4 or 5 liters, in fact from the first page of this thread Goofproof wrote:sickwithapnea17 wrote:I'm still going with 4-5 liters/minute every night and I think I feel much better.
Is there any reason to not breathe this much oxygen every night? this is very different from hyperbaric high pressure oxygen which has more risks
I've bumped mine to 2.5. I may go higher myself. Waking up in the morning is still a bit hard to do and it still takes me a while to get going, though once I am up and around I am far better than before, more alert, more talkative, and have better focus and concentration. I can actually hold down a conversation and play a good game of chess.Goofproof wrote:Most doctors set you at 2 LPM O2 bleed into XPAP, that doesn't make any sense to me as most of the O2 is blead out in the XPAP flow, so I set mine at 4 LPM into XPAP of 15 CM. It never killed me or anything else. Back in those days my daytime O2, was 90 or below without added O2. Now if I'm lucky I am at 92 to 93 during the day without added O2, and no longer use added O2 at all. Jim
It's just that damned wake up time and the next hour or two.
