Hi,
Well, another trip to the Doctor, this time, I told HIM what I wanted....going by what seemed to be the best bets for med's from this site. I decided to try Oxygen this year too....been over 20 years, and NEVER tried it. Why? I dunno!! Anyhow, after my cheap ass insurance co. refused to pay for it, I got a big tank delivered, and immediately had an attack......didn't take long to notice that the 2 liters prescribed was NOT helping, but cranked up to 4, it started to help...or at least appear to. Now I've seen a few listings saying rates of 8 to 10 liters per minute. What's everyone else using?? Can you get too much?? Don't really care to discuss it with my Dr.....don't usually get too far into the episodes before once again, giving up on my Doc!! I used the imitrex nasal spray, the O2, and am on Verapimil, and still took almost an hour to get over one today. Hoped for better results, maybe tomorrow??? Good luck folks, and God bless us all!
