[QUOTE="tony d willIiams, post: 2220195, member: 108777"] I have COPD. I am on O2, (Oxygen), 24/7. I also have migraines and other friends that won't leave. We live in the mountains and we do enjoy the forests. When our altitude goes up by a couple thousand feet or more, I need to turn my lpm, Liter per Minutes, up 1 lpm, sometime more. That causes the headache, faintness and nausea to stop. Our daughter gets altitude illness occasionally when we explore and picnic a few thousand feet higher. I give her my spare unit and I set it to 0.5 ~1.0 lpm. Not much, but enough to stop her illness. After a half hour or so, she does not need it anymore as she has become acclimated. We do live at a higher altitude so that helps. We have a special needs son with seizures. With the doctors permission I give him O2 while he is recovering from a seizure. Comes back with a smile after a few short minutes. The pulse O2 units make a click each time you inhale. If my abused elderly ears can hear it, I am sure the game can also. I use the full flow set at 2.0 ~ 3.5, occasionally 5.5 lpm, when I am out scouting or hunting. The animals don't seem to be bothered by it, and I can get close to them. Extra exercise also as I carry the tank. [/QUOTE]
