"Saved my wife's life"

Several years ago, when I was having several asthma attacks every year, I bought a 9 litre canister of Boost Oxygen. Since being diagnosed with rare eosinophilic asthma, I have been self-injecting every eight weeks with the monoclonal antibody benralizumab (Fasenra) and have not had an asthma exacerbation since, so the Boost Oxygen has just remained, unused, conspicuous, on top of a bathroom cabinet. Since having a heart attack, angioplasty and an arterial stent nearly 22 years ago, my 81 year-old wife has been on beta blockers and other medication to keep her blood pressure normal and has kept active, canoeing, climbing, sailing and for a few years has been swimming a mile three days a week. A fortnight ago, she had some left side pain in her arm, chest, neck, shoulder and back and tried some Ibuprofen with only mild benefit. She continued life as normal, but used the painkillers to try to mitigate the situation. On Sunday 26th November, I started monitoring her blood pressure, which was peaking at 229/121. The pain got very bad that evening and I called NHS 111, and an ambulance arrived and took her to A&E, an hour away, with me following. They kept her in overnight and discharged her 14 hours later, declaring no heart damage and she was told to see a doctor about the pain. First thing Tuesday morning we did so and she was prescribed Amlodipine, Naproxen, Co-codamol (and a lazative) plus Omeprazole. Just before lunch on Wednesday, I found her unconscious, totally unreponsive and with a BP of 92/57 and blood oxygen SPO2 of 88%. I remembered the Boost Oxygen and after a few minutes and some 20 puffs, her SPO2 was 94% and she started to respond. The 999 call centre advised an hour and a half delay for an ambulance, but it arrived in three minutes. Over the next few days, she suffered renal failure, a very itchy rash, nausea, confusion, visual problems, reduced appetite, inflamed esophagus and difficulty swallowing, with continuing pain. It was concluded that the recent medication had taken her BP far too low, so this was discontinued and she has also been taken off Lisinopril for a week because of the AKI (Acute Kidney Injury). On Monday 4th December, we finally got a diagnosis of a trapped nerve in her neck, possibly caused by swimming crawl stroke for over three hours a week, and she has an appointment with a trusted chiropractor and osteopath to try to release the trapped nerve. The pain had elevated the blood pressure which remains high at 196/112 in between periods when the co-codamol is effective for about three and a half hours every six hours, when the pain eases and BP is a more normal 128/76. Without having the Boost Oxygen to hand, I think she would have suffered brain damage or not survived. We now have two more canisters of Boost Oxygen, which look identical but are actually 10 litres. We have even taken one with us on the various visits back to doctor and hospital for on-going reviews and tests. Since coming off the newly-prescribed medication (which she must never have again) her blood oxygen has remained around 96% saturation, so no further Boost Oxygen has been required.

"When the fires up north started hitting…"

When the fires up north started hitting Philly hard my husband got me one because I have asthma and start of copd. I fell inlove! It’s amazing! I am a Uber driver and now carry 3 large regular encase of emergency and I am going to save up get a bunch of the pocket size and give to my riders that needs them for free. If you haven’t tried it YOU MUST! You don’t have to have breathing problem to use it. It’s perfect when you’re playing sports, take it hiking, climbing. It cools me off and gives me tons of energy! I’ve even made TikTok videos about it. 😂

"Life saving aid"

I have a vocal cord problem and sometimes my throat closes. I can use the oxygen boost to help till it stops or an ambulance comes. Literally a lifesaving aid for me.

"I have serious breathing problems and…"

I have serious breathing problems and with the Canadian fires my husband and I both use them all the time.We each have a can in every room of the house and I always keep one in my purse plus I make sure that we always take one in the car with us when we leave the house.

"Very quick to correct any issues."

Prompt attention to your problem, eager to help and correct the issue. It is a pleasure doing business with this company thank you.

"Got it primarily for my wife"

Got it primarily for my wife. And I see the potential for me using it as well. Thank you for having this available. As a first responder,my training categorized O2 as a medication. Oxygen is life,and thanks again. We'll order more I am sure.

"Disappointed."

Used the product in Lake Tahoe which is 6000+ feet altitude. We (my wife) and I had mild symptoms of altitude illness. Using the product changed nothing. It did increase our O2 saturation but ever so briefly. Did not matter if we took a puff or two or used it more frequently. I really think it offers no meaningful organic, physiologic benefit. Just saying.

"I have COPD"

I have COPD, but do not require constant oxygen use. Boost certainly helps me when those “moments of breathlessness” occur and I am appreciative of its effects for me.
However…..
It seems to me that the price points established for the various sizes are somewhat excessive, especially for someone on a fixed income.
Why not practice a little philanthropy and lower the price ?
It is also discouraging to think that Boost is pulling in massive profit, based on the worldwide distribution, but offer little or no cost relief to faithful and returning customers.
Why must you be so profit driven when you clearly have a huge faithful customer base?
The “specials” that you occasionally offer are rather pitiful, and when coupon codes are offered, they can only be applied to normal high priced items.
I have researched a few of your competitors, and their prices are better than yours in many cases.
All we are saying, is give us a break every now and then.
Profit isn’t everything.

"I am a pilot"

I am a pilot. I fly at night and in the mountains of the southwest. Most smaller planes don’t have O2 systems and it’s not something we use daily. Flying at night on a cross country flight is when a few hits off boost is great. Maybe a life saver. At night the effects are instant. I see thing clear instantly. Even in bigger GA planes. This small lite weight can is a great back up. Hot days when density altitude matters even at seeming low elevations. The air is thin. Love this for a couple years now. I have a 3 pack in the hangar
