Hello,
Thank you for your contact to healthcare magic.
I understand your health concern, if I am your doctor I suggest you that high pressure oxygen can cause dizziness, disorientation etc. as the symptoms is seen in your wife. It is advice to change the system of oxygen. Also if more oxygen is inhaled carbon dioxide therapy should be initiated to mitigate the effect of oxygen. Kindly visit nearby ER.

I will be happy to answer all your future concern.
Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank

Wish you a best health at health care magic.
