I was just diagnosed with moderate emphysema. No daily 02 yet. I took a flight simulation test that resulted in need to fly with POC supplemental oxygen— I love traveling and have flown to Europe every year for many years and so I feel devastated to have to navigate safe oxygen.
My oxygen levels are stable enough to go without supplemental oxygen unless I overexert and then my levels drop quickly. Also altitude lowers.
I am set to fly 2 hours on Sunday—nervous. Pulmonologist advised me to wear 02 if my levels drop below 90 but to turn it off when 02 level rises above 94. It is confusing to figure out how to get enough oxygen but not to get too much.
How do you navigate on/off safely and travel successfully, I hope yo return to Europe. Also, Air France offers their own 02 and I wonder if anyone had anyone tried it
Thank you and Happy Holidays!
