November is COPD Awareness Month, a time to shed light on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and support the millions of people who live with it every day. If you or a loved one has COPD, you know how even small tasks, like walking to the kitchen or climbing stairs, can feel exhausting.
The good news? Oxygen therapy can help you breathe easier, reduce symptoms, and improve your quality of life.
At Doubek Medical Supply, we offer trusted oxygen therapy solutions, including both stationary and portable oxygen concentrators, to help you stay active, independent, and supported at home or on the go.
How Oxygen Therapy Helps With COPD
COPD makes it harder for your lungs to deliver oxygen to your bloodstream. This can cause:
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Brain fog or confusion
- Difficulty sleeping or exercising
Oxygen therapy increases the amount of oxygen your body receives. That means your heart doesn’t have to work as hard, your brain stays sharper, and you may find more energy for daily life.
Benefits of oxygen therapy may include:
- Less breathlessness during activity
- Better sleep and daytime energy
- Improved focus and mood
- Heart health support and reduced strain
- Greater ability to stay mobile and independent
Many people find that with consistent use, they can return to everyday routines, like walking the dog, making meals, or spending more time with loved ones.
Finding the Right Equipment for Your Needs
Not all oxygen therapy devices are the same. At Doubek, we carry a variety of options to match your lifestyle and prescription.
Here are a few top options:
