MSM might help brething

Thank you😊

Nice information doc. Could you suggest some exercises for fibrosis?

literally watched this video from my hospital room, thank you for your testament and review! I just ordered one!

ultimately, inhalers worsen the situation, I hear...

O2 is not flammable, but can make something that is flammable even more flammable. Science is good.

For the man I love, thank you. 🎉❤🎉

I have very severe emphysema and also I co2 retainer Last yr I got respiratory failure and pneumonia then caught covid 2 days before being discharged from the hospital I felt fine for the few few days then it hit me. I had a really bad exacerbation and had to go back on antibiotics and steroids, it was awful and I never returned to my base line, I’m now breathless all the time, I was assessed as needed care as I can no longer care for myself. Before all this happened I was still walking round looking after horses cleaning stables, I used to get breathless but after a few min of stopping but it was a different kind of breathlessness, nothing like it is now. I get breathless doing nothing and I’m really struggling My lung function is now 27%, I have lost 2stone because I struggle to eat, I feel full all the time and completely lost my appetite. Iv lost my muscles the skin around my calf muscle is just loose skin now. To top it all I have severe osteoporosis and while I had respiratory failure and pneumonia I had a terrible pain in my back from coughing. I was told it was all muscular. 5 months later I was re admitted with my gallbladder and had to have a Ct scan because they couldn’t see the gallstone that I had. Ct revealed two severe wedge fractures at T6/7 and also that I now have kyphosis caused by the fractures. The report also say the fractures were present on X-ray when I was admitted for respiratory failure and pneumonia So all that time I was as told to carry on as normal as the pain was muscular. My lungs showed wide spread emphysema with very little sparing in the middle and that I was med to severe, it was the spirometer that showed I was very severe and how much lung function I have. I told the specialist that my inhalers don’t work like they used to but he said I’m on every thing that he can give I e Trimbow x2 puffs a day Nebulizer that I have salbutamol and saline through also Ventolin for my rescuer, carbocisteine and morphine I also have mild bronciatrasis which he Ct picked on also So what chance do I have of making things easier for myself Iv seen the specialist once no follow up appointment The specialist I needed for my spine refused to see me as the gap between my fracture and being diagnosed was to long, so cement on my breaks was not an option and they took many months to heal. I feel Devasted my life changed with a click of the finger. I’m now housebound because the humidity effects me terribly if I go out, even going in the car is not an option for me anymore 😢😢

She plays tennis?!! I can jog for about 10 seconds then I can't breathe for the next 5 minutes!

Thank you .appreciated

Chewing on a piece of raw ginger root helps me a lot.

Thank ❤

Excellent video Dr Zafar! Today my person got his pepbuddy and it is helping so much because his attempt at purse breathe was hyperventilating with puckered lips! We needed pepbuddy so much. He was resistant to the idea so I trained him with a straw whike we waited fir pepbuddy in the mail. He like pepbuddy more and it actually INCREASED his oxygen! I hope is is one of the people from your study that benefits the most.

Oh…relief. My person just started pepbuddy and it is doing what a lot of talk, Multiple videos on purse breathing or explanation could not do. It’s helping him do purse breathing correctly and he feels better and we are/were in the beginning of a mini exacerbation. I’ll post updates. I read about pepbuddy on Reddit COPD subgroup but they don’t seem to understand the device. I am so optimistic right now!🙌🙏thank you dr for your good research and simple but brilliant idea! I love that it prevents air stacking and helps fight hyperinflation (is this right?) does it help reduce CO2 build up?

Thank you so much for a frank and common-sense explanation. Much appreciated

Thank you for this. We are going to use it. I ordered PEP Buddy for my person and hoping he uses it and likes it.

Please find people who are less fit so I can use those videos for my person so they think the can use it. Omg she plays tennis. I need an older COPD person who had trouble using pursed breathing on their own and this helped them correct their breathing. Slow their breathing, focus, creates back pressure so stale air can come out.

I have IPF and found this useful with my condition

Doctor what about if the person has COPD ,Asthma and emphysema? Thank you

❤

88 should not be the threshold. As 02 level fluctuate. Finger pulseox does not work.

Thank you ❤

I have COPD and asthma. I am on a steroid based inhaler. I have no problems falling asleep. I am a light sleeper. I wake up to go to the toilet and then cannot get back to sleep. My mind is racing but my body is asleep. I can lay awake for over an hour. It's horrible. I believe this is caused by the steroids I am taking. I am sure a cannot be the only one I have brought this to the attention of my Doctor at the Respiratory Clinic. But she showed little interest

Very well explained Doctor . 🙏

I have vivid nightmares since put on oxygen 24/7.

Why do I get post exertional malaise about 2 hours after walking?

Clear, concise info on what makes us short of breath and how we can breathe better.

Hi

Is there any dange in over exercising like two 30 minute meditations a day? Thank you very much.

My pep buddy was hand delivered to me here in China today. A friend brought it. "Lost" the first order in Shanghai customs. I expected step by step instructions to be included in the order. Not so. So which is correctt inhale through the device or through the nose. The woman says she has discovered "many different ways to use the device". but those ways are not included in the instructions. Through my own research I believe this will be a very useful device and for that I thank you, but I gotta tel you the total absence of instruction is very disappointing. One would think you would share your research with the customers.

Thanks I wish u were my doctor.

Thank you for creating this device! This sounds so promising! I just purchased the bundle for my husband, and hope & pray it gives him relief. I will keep you updated, once we receive it and he uses it. Thanks again!

Extremely educative and excellent explanations doctor . 🙏

I use the inside tube from a syringe, but a straw would probably work the same. Basically, the resistance caused by restricting the amount you can breathe out, prevents the airways from collapsing so quickly. I’m sure this gadget would work.

Nothing new.

Love the new background and editing skills!

Wow thank you for this amazing help

Simple and effective device! Thank you for this useful video

Christian family, let us focus, on believing and proclaiming, the gospel, unto our eternal salvation. We must believe, how, Christ died for our sins, he was buried and he rose again the third day, amen. 1 Corinthians 15 3:4 Maranatha.❤🎉❤

Where can I buy pep budy

When I started experiencing more severe breathlessness I would panic and it would get worse and worse. After a very long time I realized I was hyperventilating from the panic, and pursed lip breathing will get me back into a regular breathing pattern quite quickly. I had to figure out everything on my own. I thought my lungs were shutting down. I had never seen anybody hyperventilate and never considered it a possibility. Was not told anything by Doctors, just given medication. These videos have prob been lifesaving. Certainly sanity saving. Using the diaphragm to breathe and nose breathing is very important too. If its hard to breathe through nose, press one nostril shut and do it that way as many breaths as possible.

So dirty ears can cause dypnea or whatever it’s called?

This was very good. I don’t smoke, never have, and was diagnosed with stage 3 COPD…. The reg dr I had before this, always just gave me Prednisone & antibiotic maybe twice a month for 2 years. I had a constant horrible cough. That dr never had my lungs looked at or tested. So the diagnosis was a Shock to me, big shock. Now after this long, I’m Angry! I’m angry she missed it. I’m on oxygen and carry mobile oxy. Turns out I had asthma for years, all the pulmonologist told me, first & last visit? Was “well you don’t have asthma, you have COPD.” I didn’t even know what that stood for. She said nothing more. See, being this far along w it, I feel like I will die with it as w this, I have kidney disease & a heart valve leak. I didn’t know ANY of this til all the tests were done 3 years ago. I Am angry it’s me. My son had very bad asthma from age 1 to 25 I think. Nebulizer 3x a day; poor little kid. Will He too possibly get copd? I live alone, my husband passed 20 yrs ago. So I’m sad and angry. Sorry. Thx for listening.
