Close Anonymous Unfriend Friend Requested Friend Load More Close Destination Page Area Group Destination Content Title Title Article Type Copy comments My wife wants me to try to get on oxygen, she feels it would greatly help me. I know that this means getting a arterial blood gas. Frankly I have been surprised that I have not recieved on yet. I am like many with COPD I get tired as the day goes on. I get numb and tingly in my hands and feet, feeling heavy in my chest, but my fingers have not turned blue. I know if I ask for it they will most likely give me one. They love to draw blood. I am just leary of getting it and not needing it. I have had it before and it still holds a firm place in my memory.
