Thanks all, for the answers! I wasn't too concerned since the resp. therapist wasn't, but that was the first my heart rate jumping had ever been mentioned, be it normal or not. I wondered if that was something I should really start keeping my eye on or not. This whole walking around to hit 88 for the insurance was just to get the portable tanks. I was originally on O2 just at night, so I didn't get any tanks to begin with whether I needed them or not. Since I requested them, we have to go through a whole big thing about it. I don't think there's any chance in anywhere that medicare will cover a portable O2 concentrator no matter how nifty they seem (and they do seem quite nifty). The resp. therapist said most insurance companies don't cover them because "they're mostly for convenience (and the tanks still provide plenty of therapy)." Blah, whatever, lol.
