What do you think about the air physio device. I was wondering whether to give it a go?

I'm going to put this information out there for anyone who suffers from EoE or just got diagnosed later in life (29 years old) with no understanding of why... I never had a history of any food allergies. Turns out I'm allergic to red meat. I hunt in Alaska and got a bad chigger rash when I was 17 years old. At first I had no symptoms. At some point I noticed a slight change in bowel habits, my stools becoming just slightly lighter in color. I started to get a very mild fatigue as well, not debilitating but noticeable. By the time I was 20 I started to get dry eyes. This is when I became concerned and went to the doctors. Tested negative for everything. Every stool sample, parasite, blood work, labs, abdominal scan, brain scan. No answers. I told myself that I can live with these symptoms, they are not that bad, and I'm not dying so its okay. By the time I was 25, I was having even worse fatigue, having really bad days and some nights were I would get such bad dry eyes that it would wake me up and I would have to put in eye drops. I said we must have missed something. Went and saw a GI specialist, had a colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, another abdominal scan, redid all blood work, tested for every autoimmune disease, and was negative for everything once again. I then turn 28 years old. I am not doing good. So much fatigue that I now hated life. I did not enjoy waking up. I said I would give it one last shot. Went to the same GI doctor again, this time with my parents. They begged for him to help me as I was becoming crippled from fatigue. I tested positive for SIBO. We thought thank god, we can be cured now. I did a month of anti biotics and an Elemental carnivore diet. It all failed. No improvement. The GI doctor was stumped. We couldn't take no for an answer at this point so we went and saw another doctor. At this point I was have steatorrhea regularly. I couldn't digest food. Food was coming out of me raw sometimes. I had been doing a food journal for almost a year at this point with nothing that I could track down. Second GI doctor tested me for IGG in my blood serum. I had high levels of IGG4. Turn's out I was in a permanent allergic reaction that did not trigger IgE (what leads to anaphylaxis). I had another upper endoscopy done and this I was diagnosed with Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) which is almost always caused by a chronic food allergy. Turns out it was meat and dairy and gelatin and anything that comes from a mammal. I never considered it after all these years. I didn't even know that was possible. Hope this helps give some insight to someone who is having this and cant figure out why and is completely stumped. Good luck out there. I know you will need it.

Best spirometer teaching

Nicolas Plain

very useful

❤❤

Statistics are rubbish, I have had it for 3 years and won't be going nowhere anytime soon!

Thank you. My husband and I both have chronic lung problems. Since having covid 2 years ago we have had so many antibiotics. Every bug goes straight to our chests. This video is the best explanation we have had. We both have "flutters" and saline nebulisers and inhalers. We are sick at the moment and struggling to clear the gunk. We will try the techniques you shared. Thank you. 😊

No hospital or rehab I've been to here in Indiana know about this

That coughing makes me cough up blood

Holy moly

These are just ventilation measurements not gas exchange

You're missing a presentation. Psychological conditions are not red herrings for food allergies. They're red herrings for physicians having poor physiological understanding. I have IgE seeming reactions with elevated serum PGD2 and sometimes mildly elevated tryptase rapidly after ingesting offending foods. Only thing is that I do not have IgE antibodies to these foods. The presentations are anaphylactic in nature excluding external swelling. There is voice hoarseness, tachycardia, shortness of breath, severe POTS-like symptoms, diarhhea, nausea, vomiting all immediately after ingesting the offending foods. But there's no IgE antibodies present to anything except for outdoor molds, cow's milk, and beef. Many incompetent providers are quick to assume it is a somatoform disorder but this is so blatantly insane. It is like calling women witches in the 1800s because they didn't understand what PMS was. It is incomplete understanding of biology. It is a predictable syndrome that has gotten worse overtime, with almost all foods causing some sort of reaction like this at this point. I have to keep switching foods to ones that don't give me severe enough symptoms to go to the emergency room but i have to rapidly switch back n forth. They did a bunch of MCAS testing which ended up being almost entirely negative. Seems like they're missing something important!

Great info. Thank you so much!

Nice job

great

I read the comments and I am in the same situation I have been diagnosed with bibasal bronchiectasis and I don’t know much about I try to find out by research I walk loads bit some day I can’t walk I am just lack of energy. We should do a group and all of us we get well informed and support each other.

Hello , Regarding VC parameters My spirometry machine does not calculate the TLC and RV and does not tell the preducted value for age height ,sex for them.instead , It measures VC , IRV ,ERV, TV , IVC, EVC with predicted values. So, how to measure manually TLC and RR and get predicted values? is it possible? If not , are the measured values equal to TLC and RV in evaluating wheter the disease is obstructive or restrictive?

Hi, Nice video. How many puffs of salbutamol we give for after dilation test? What dosis do we use?

This information is very helpful! I had a diagnosis of Bronchiectasis 3 years ago but never was told about all of these options for dealing with this condition~a diagnosis is one thing~Doctors should recommend seeing a physiotherapist who can provide detailed practice and information about how to best use exercise and these devises~Thank you so much Jude Colligan!!!!!!!!!!!

Check our TPEP4, a new device for the airways clearance. It's very used for bronchiectasis, amsa, COPD, post-covid and many other pathologies. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGqldWSvq5dkmLs

This video is taken too far away????

Grab a drinking cup kids use. Has a lid and a large washable straw, fill half with water. Then take deep breath then SLOWLY blow Out into straw which forms bubbles down inside cup. Keep blowing as much as you can till your you empty your lungs completely. Re do about 5 times. Great to help my lungs. Easy

From what come the bronchiactasis

I like the idea of the belt, will try it. When I get abit breathless, or just can't 'suck-up' that one deep breath, I lower my waistband, regardless what I have on. By a few inches below it's normal position, this seems to allow me to breath deep. My waistband was/is not tight, but I'm pushing against it to try for the breath, this helps me.

*I have bronchiectasis. Lobectomy yes or not ?*

This was absolutely fantastic!! Thank you so much for sharing this - as a practice nurse specialising in respiratory it has been really helpful and much appreciated :)

God bless you doctor I was diagnosed of broncheatesis a long time a go,I am in Nigeria and i don't know how to get any of those devices,pls help me my life is draining away gradually.

In my case nothing works no matter how much exercise i do. :(

Greetings! My uncle is on oxygen 24/7 for 2 months, following is Scan report in summary. "Right lung is completely collapsed and replaced by cylinderical and cystic bronchitis". Docs say there is only option for patient to be on oxygen for survival. What kind of excercises do he need. Kindly suggest the treatment to get conditions better. Thanks.

Absolutely excellent presentation for me, thank you.

Thank you mam..thats really helpful

What a great teacher

I will make sure you go to heaven. I can finally breath and sleep THANK YOU GOD GIFT TO HUMANITY

Brilliant, thank you

Very helpful, thank you. Because of the pandemic my physiotherapy appointment to have this technique explained was moved to the phone. This video has really helped to clarify things. I also find singing a little every day helps a lot with bronchiectasis symptoms.

Nicely explained with demo. Great session Madam.

This is just superb, been searching for "does a sleep apnea mask stop snoring?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Panvaryor Unexpected Preference - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing one off product for discovering how to eradicating sleep apnea and snoring minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 got amazing results with it.

Informative and vividly put. Much appreciated

As soon as COVID19 reared its ugly head, i became rather frightened that i would catch it and if I did it would kill me. I did catch it and fortunately for me i did not have to go into hospital and my oxygen levels although dipped to 92 they rose quickly. Thank God for my inhaler

Good Technique

Thanks a lot for sharing this

Really good, thank you. Please do another session with more examples

Thank you for your explanation Prof. Hilary Pinncok, it helps a lot

Learning a lot.

Very well done Madam! From another pulmonary physical therapist across the pond:)

Making yourself sneeze might also help clearing bronchia ?
