This is a two part question:
1. How often should oxygen be used. Home oxygen therapy is used for patients unable to maintain an oxygen saturation over 88%. It is also used for people who have sleep apnea but do not need or tolerate CPAP therapy. If you are prescribed oxygen for sleep apnea, you only need to wear it at night. If you wear it for hypoxia (COPD, CHF, etc), you may need to only wear oxygen when you are active, or you may need it all the time. The precribing provider should give you that information. Follow the instructions your provider gave you.
2. Fluid restriction can be used to help control Congestive heart failure, in addition to diuretics. There is no strict number that works for everyone. You should discuss this with your provider. Typically, fluid restriction is less than 2 liters per day, but your provider will tailor this to your specific needs.
