Can you have too much oxygen for asthma my wife takes it 247 but can go without for 4 hours?

Emphysema is a disease that relies solely on the oxygen receptors in the brain to tell a person to breath or not. In asthma, oxygen receptors are tempered by carbon dioxide receptors. Together they regulate the breathing patterns. In this, your wife is normal, however, she has been prescribed oxygen at a certain liter per minute flowrate to keep her blood level of oxygen within a normal range. This is based on her blood level without the oxygen. Asthma is a restrictive airway disease. The airways close up in reaction to allergens or stressors. Sometimes there is damage that is related to some underlying disease process that requires oxygen. This answer is based on twenty years experience as a respiratory care practioner.
