  1. Hello, My father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and has been struggling with anxiety over his low oxygen % numbers. He is on supplemental oxygen 24x7, but is still checking his numbers non-stop. It has paralyzed him to the point that he wont do anything or leave the house because he gets out of breath and his levels go down to 82% when he has to walk any distance. He checks his levels at least every 30 minutes. His O2 levels immediately return to normal when he sits back down or rests, but it hasn't eased his mind. He doesn't sleep at night either because of his concern that he doesn't have enough O2 and will stop breathing and is having recurring nightmares that he is suffocating. Does anyone have experience with this and can you offer any suggestions? It breaks my heart seeing him like this and I don't want him to spend whatever time he has left scared to leave the house and not living his life. Thanks in advance.
