Unless you have low oxygen levels the oxygen shouldn't make much difference.
If you do have low levels you should be seeing a doctor and getting it by
prescription.

Oxygen is a drug and does have adverse effects. You should not just go out
and use it on your own.

Curious about your comment "Oxygen is a drug and does have adverse
effects"....
I am on O2 at night as part of my sleep apnea regime.
My O2 levels dropped during the study and O2 supplement was prescribed....

You comment"Oxygen is a drug and does have adverse effects" caught me... If
you have time could you either
- state some of those side effects
- Point me to some source online that I can read about it.....
No one had ever mentioned that area to me!
