Suggest a good oxygen concentrator machi
Hello Doctor,
This is regarding my mother. She is an asthamtic patient. She has COPD problem since last 12 uears and she takes levolin & maxiflow inhalers daily.
I am quite concerned about the 3rd wave of corona for which there is a daily discussion we see in news channels. So as a precautionary step I want to purchase an oxygen concentrator machine. Also please suggest whether this is useful if she would use oxygen concentrator if she feels breathlessness due to asthma.
Kindly suggest a good oxygen concentrator and how much should be ideal litre/min capacity.

If she feels breathlessness due to asthma, the first treatment would be inhaled medications. Oxygen may be needed if her saturation levels become low and not to be given otherwise.

Consult a pulmonologist for optimizing medications.
