Cystic Fibrosis – Diagnosis & Treatments

Oxygen Therapy

When cystic fibrosis advances, you might need oxygen therapy to breathe normally. This requires the wearing of a mask and oxygen tank to provide sufficient oxygen for your body. The decision will depend on the concentration of this substance in your blood. You do not have to wear an oxygen mask for the whole day. Instead, it would be taken off during sleeping or resting and be used during intense exercises. Make sure to consult your doctor to get the best results in the long run and prevent some possible complications. [12]
