For those prescribed it, medical oxygen can improve your quality of life and help you be the best for those around you. If you get short of breath easily, tell your health care professional. Letting them know about your symptoms will help them determine the best therapy plan for you. A simple oxygen titration test could help them see if oxygen therapy might help. #WorldOxygenDay
