What Could On-demand Oxygen On Body With Very Little Warning That Body Is Going Down And Needs Oxygen Signify?
my husband has fallen 3 times in the last 10 days. he has had on-demand oxygen on his body, but may not be inhaling at the time. he has very little warning that he is going down and needs oxygen. is this that he needs to remember to breath ? or a more serious condition?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Maybe he has the following conditions -
1. Syncope
2. Acute respiratory spasm due to any reason
3. Recurrent anaphylaxis with any of one thing
To rule out these go for CT scan head, 2D echo, spirometry and chest X-ray posterior-anterior view.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Chandra Shekhar
