RE: O2 Therapy With Sinus Issues
yes I'm using a oxygen concentrator, and don't really have any apneas, I was spending 90% of the time at less then 90% O2.
RE: O2 Therapy With Sinus Issues
One does not need a prescription to buy a recording pulse oximeter, but check with your insurance company to see if getting a prescription would make it eligible for reimbursement. Must be a "recording" model.
The style of recording Pulse Oximeter which is worn like a wrist watch with separate finger cup sensor is far more comfortable to wear all night. Also helpful if it records Perfusion (which shows when the PO is getting strong/valid readings through the skin).
