Hi doctor can i ask something about oxygen tank?is it really prescripted or can i just buy one and just ask other doctors nearby how to use it right?

There needs to be: a medical indication for use of oxygen. Oxygen needs to come with necessary education. If you believe that you need supplemental oxygen then please discuss with your medical provider. Take care.

No: Your oxygen should be prescribed and adjusted by a physician.
