Hi,
I bought a Oxygen Chamber along with a concentrator and mask about 2 months ago for my home use.
Shortly after starting to use it I started getting a cough. At first, I didn't attribute this to the HBOT, instead I thought I had gotten bronchitis. I even went to doctor and he gave me antibiotics. So I stopped using the HBOT and took the antibiotics and the cough got better. So I started using the HBOT again and the cough returned!
Now I am wondering if breathing in direct oxygen from the concentrator through the mask is causing this? Has anyone else come across this problem? I read somewhere that the oxygen that comes out of the concentrator is very dry, can that be damaging my lungs??
