Hello, how are you doing? I went to pulmonologist. I was given tests like Echocardiogram and CBC but my tests showed no abnormality. Only did my PFT test showed restriction. I complained again to them about difficulty in breathing and having memory problems but they also disregarded my symptoms as you might have psyche issues. I am lightheaded most of the times and I am having headaches. They gave me inhaler and called me back after 3 mths for the follow up. How am I gonna convince them that having had oxygen made my symptoms better? How am I gonna persuade them to write me for oxygen? If I ask them they might bring up my spo2 level. It is so difficult to get going like this. What am I supposed to do?
My only suggestion would be to see if you can get one of your doctors to write a prescription for oxygen and then pay out of pocket for it. Maybe rent it for a day and see how you feel. How long has this been going on?
It has been going on for almost two years. Doctors are not taking me seriously even though my PFT result showed abnormality. I will talk about prescribing oxygen again to them. @@becomingapegazebracorn
@@becomingapegazebracorn It has been almost 2 yrs. I will ask the doctor to perform PFT test again and if the problem persists then I will ask to prescribe oxygen.
I bought everything myself so it is not going through insurance. But my insurance does cover oxygen. I was without insurance for a few months so didn't have a choice but to buy my own units.
Also can you show up your home oxygen concentrator? If it is possible?
I can, but there's not much to show. It's called the Inogen at Home.
Thinking more about it, I do think I could manage to make a video about it. So I'll try to record it this weekend.

I am also having dizziness due to difficulty in breahing.

Does your insurance covers your oxygen
I bought everything myself so it is not going through insurance. But my insurance does cover oxygen. I was without insurance for a few months so didn't have a choice but to buy my own units.
I hope you'd reply. Take care.
I'm not on here every day.
