First I never take it at 100%, 70% is fine, the air entering my system is filtered, clean, but prolonged use does cause a dry throat even with the humifier, my whole body tingles after a couple of minutes, I have been using O2 for over 15 years and find it much better than getting drugged out of my mind, so far no reactions of any kind, lack of oxygen to the brain can cause headaches so more oxygen cuts the headaches, this still does not explain the mechanism as to why oxygen is subsided in the first place, something is causing the swelling, and I am still not sure if the filtered air is doing just as well as the higher percentage of oxygen, if a trigger component is involved, the concentrator removes that component, think if I developed a reaction to oxygen, I would be dead.
