Disease Based

To survive, we need oxygen going from our lungs to the cells in our body. Sometimes the amount of oxygen in our blood can fall below normal levels. Asthma, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the flu, and COVID-19 are some of the health issues that may cause oxygen levels to drop. When the levels are too low, we may need to take extra oxygen, known as oxygen therapy. FDA WARNS: Giving yourself too much or too little oxygen can be dangerous. Talk with your doctor about safely using pulse oximeters and oxygen concentrators for Home Oxygen Therapy.
