Low oxygen since being home from hospital

Went in with 72% O2, double pneumonia with COPD. On antibiotics, trelegy ellipta, Generator O2 set at 4, as suggested when leaving hospital. Been out 3 days, sleeping ok, but weather has turned very warm(29Celcius), a/c not working. Not doing anything more strenuous than going to toilet and watching tv, reading, on computer. Has anyone experienced similar conditions?

  1. Hi . What a terrible time for your AC to stop working. Do you have a repair scheduled? Humidity can definitely trigger escalating COPD symptoms. Your strategy sounds like a good one. I hope your AC gets fixed soon, the heat and humidity drop and you improve quickly. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)

    1. My hvac guys made a special apppointment for me yesterday! He went over many things about the A/C unit, that I was not aware of. Unit condenser was replaced, a/c was found to be functional, 2 hours later the temp inside went from 30C to 23C(sorry in Canada we use Celsius temperatures) Many thanks for replying!!! I was able to rest comfortably and actually slept in 2-3 shifts last night.

    2. What wonderful news! I'm glad it's fixed and that you are comfortable again. Now, you can get on with healing. - Lori (Team Member)
