How to breathe easier

[Mymammy]

Has anyone got any tips on how to regain your breath easily after walking just a short distance I have emphysema

The BLF produce a helpful leaflet about management of breathlessness. See if this is any help: blf.org.uk/support-for-you/...

There are many examples on You-Tube being demonstrated on how to recover from breathlessness I found very helpful. Best of luck.

For immediate help stop and hold onto something a wall a post a companion or just your walking stick, lean forward and breathe slowly you'll soon recover. Take care. Lizzy x

Try pursed lip breathing and breath out twice as long as you breath in .nice slow long even breaths .
