    Hi I just wanted to tell you that yes I have heard my husband’s doctor say that too much oxygen is not good either,  but they seem to be talking more about a person with pulmonary fibrosis would not need to have an oxygen level over 98 . Another thing I would like to note to people with this was my husband‘s primary doctor keep asking him to go get his eyes checked which he wouldn’t do so finally I made an appointment to get my own eyes checked and his also .   We found out he had advanced glaucoma due to not using oxygen earlier in his fibrosis like he was supposed to. He went for four years never using it he would just let his self run out of breath and then collapse in his chair. After talking to the eye doctor he said your  your optic nerve has its own blood supply and it needs a lot of blood in by him doing that he was depriving the optic nerve of blood. Now I’m just saying what he told us and now my husband has to put eyedrops in his eyes every day or you’ll go blind that’s what made him start using his oxygen all the time the fear of blindness
