Copd

My doctor just raised me from 3 liters to 8 cause of walk test does this mean it's gotten worse

  1. ,
    I am not a doctor, but I would think if your doctor raised your oxygen intake almost triple what it was, I would say YES your COPD has gotten worse and you need more oxygen. To be 100% sure about that, contact your doctor and ask him/her about the increase and the walk test results. Take care and God Bless!

    1. When was your last walk test, ? Have you had a chance to talk to your doctor since you got the results? That does seem like a dramatic jump and I am curious to hear what you found out, if anything. Thinking of you. -Melissa, team member
