Involantary sighing

[VonnyM]

The consultant asked my doctor to prescribe See Bri what's it showed to do. I take it every morning and I'm still doing that sighing and feel short of breath

it can take several weeks before you notice any differents is supposed to make fev 1 better , when they done trial with it it was 12 weeks before they tested if there was an improvement in fev1 , so not sure if you been taking it long enough to feel a bit of improvement yet

I've just been taking it for one week. Thanks for reply.

I've been taking it for a while, maybe a year and it did take some months, I also take Serevent twice a day, my fev has improved by a couple %. It has good reviews, give it a while longer Vonny. Do you take anything else?

[VonnyM in reply to camping-girl]

No I don't take anything else except bp tablet cipramil

It's important to try to keep the sinuses as clear as possible so flushing/douching/rinsing is a good idea. Bacteria spores can easily get into the lower respiratory tract giving you an infection there as well.

There's a ready made sterile seawater spray, Strerimar that's very good. Neilmeds Saline rinse (got mine via Amazon) is also good but you make up the saline solution from the little sachets & use the plastic bottle applicator.

When my sinuses are causing chronic head pain I use acupressure points to help drain & relieve the pressure. Demonstration on YouTube.

Have used a steroidal nasal spray for last ten years, it helps too. P

Hi Nicum, do you think you could send me the directions for using the Neilmeds? I've forgotten since my move & think I need to start using for the winter. Thanks not anticipation. P x

Boil water & allow to cool, wash applicator out with hot water & drop of washing up liquid, rinse & sterilise in microwave for 1min10 seconds. Fill to fill line with previously cooled boiled water(at this point I fill to above fill point & squeeze applicator onto my hand to see how hot the water is, , if necessary I put bottle in microwave to reheat for approx. 20 seconds) pour pre-mixed sachet in and mix. Over sink squeeze 1/2 bottle up one nostril, talking whilst you do so is good:), Water flows from other nostril (at this point I inhale a bit to get higher sinus'), blow water out of nose & repeat with other nostril....if taking a nasal decongestant as I do (beconase) wait 10 minutes and use it & then ...breathe easily:),

Hope this is what you wanted P
