 Patients must have a prescription from a doctor for oxygen therapy in order to get it. The prescription will include how much oxygen a patient should have and how often. Patients may need supplemental oxygen during certain activities, such as sleeping or exercising, or they may need it all of the time.
-While [[antidepressants|various techniques]] can help improve breathing, when correctly administered, oxygen may help resolve problematic symptoms like disconcerting shortness of breath, chest pain and low pulse/oximeter readings. Supplemental oxygen can be dangerous when [[home:othertreatments:oxygen:safety|certain safety precautions]] aren't followed. Always use oxygen as directed by one's physician.

 ===== Rationale for use =====
-Using supplemental oxygen is not a step backward nor an admission of failure. It is a palliative treatment to prevent the heart muscle from overworking. Supplemental oxygen can relieve the distressing symptom of dyspnea (shortness of breath).(({{pubmed>long:9740573}})) Dyspnea is not lethal but patients who are able to control it are more comfortable and perhaps able to tolerate additional immunopathology while lung inflammation is resolving.

 Oxygen therapy may help a patient feel better, sleep better, be more alert, and be in a better mood. Patients may be able to carry out your daily activities without feeling as tired or as short of breath and may have less intercostal pain.
-According to an [[http://www.emedicine.com/EMERG/topic516.htm||e-medicine article on sarcoidosis]], supplemental oxygen should be provided to all patients prior to hospital care. So, ask your doctor for a trial of home oxygen to attempt to avoid a deterioration that might possible lead to a hospital stay, if possible.
