Guest guest Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Think I already told you I'm now at my sister's house in Holbrook, AZ. Well, it's at 5,000 feet altitude & I'm REALLY feeling the difference. Also, my sats keep going down to 84-85 with any exertion, which is lower than they ever went at home in Calif. I haven't been prescribed oxygen yet because my sats seldom go below 89 at home. But it now looks like I'm probably going to stay in Holbrook until New Year's & I'm REALLY having trouble breathing when I do much more than push my scooter through the house. Actually, even that is difficult at times. Is there anything I can do besides the special breathing exercise, which I try to do as often as possible? I can't see calling my pulmodoc for an oxygen prescription since I really shouldn't need it when I get back home. I was scheduled tomorrow to get a CPAP machine for sleeping but had to cancel that appt because of my accident & trip to AZ. I really can't imagine what else there is to do, but just in case, I'm trying you. Any advice you can give would be a big help. Thanks.
