I am on 2 liters , I use oxygen at night and when needed during the day.My Doctor did say when I feel like , I need it I should increase
it.I have at times went to 3 or 4'when I felt like I couldn't breath.Talk to Your Doctor.

My doctor prescribed 1 liter at night and 4 liters during the day. I have since increased my nightly dose to 2 liters. Doing this appears to have helped me sleep better at night.

This is something that should be throughly discussed with the doctor. After you are comfortable with the terminology, effects, and how the body reacts, then you can judge a little better about your level of need.
Currently I use 2.5 liters at night and none during the day unless I feel that I need it.

If the need changes too much, I will be having another discussion with the doctor.

UPDATE FROM MY FORMER COMMENTS:

Does Mike use oxygen 24 hours a day? If so, then I wouldn't hesitate to turn it up. He is the only one that can judge if he's not getting enough oxygen to feel comfortable. I have mine set on 4 during the day and 2.5 at night.

Hugs to you and Mike.

hello i agree with the others everyone is different my husband is on 5 litres day and night and we use portables on 6 or 7 when we go out so talking to your doctor will help they will understand if you feel its not enough
