Can oxygen be used to treat breathing?

2018-08-09 03:03:21
I have asthma and have been struggling with the high humidity recently. I use a nebulizer at least 2 times a day, sometimes more. After my wife was in Colorado and had her elderly mother use an oxygen canister to help with her breathing distress, she wondered if ordering me a few oxygen canisters might be a good idea to ease my breathing struggles. Could any harm come from trying?
