Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments OK, I've read a lot about why we become SOB even if O2 saturation levels are at 90 or above. I am a CO2 retainer and use purse lipped breathing when I exercise to get rid of as much of that nasty CO2 as I can. But I still can't figure out if cranking my oxygen up when I exercise is harmful or even helpful. I think I do better cranking it up so O2 stays at 95-97 but I don't have any way of really evaluating other than how it feels at the moment. So can anyone tell me if it hurts to crank up the Oxygen?
