Using a fan

If we get any warm weather using an electric fan blowing in my face helps with breathing does this help any others ?

Even have a battery one that is in my bag when out because it helps

Yes use one all the time Dott it can be freezing cold still have the fan on plus electric blanket would you believe ! the cold on your face does help Val

Must have a window open all the time or have a problem getting anything to breathe put extra clothing on if it is cold.

kind regards Ethel

Hi Do, Val, Ethel -yes i would agree totally. I have a ceiling fan above my bed that I would not be without, and a fan on an adjustable height stand for the lounge or to move to any room as needed. They are quite inexpensive too.

Hi all,

yes I fully agree, have the fan on all the time need to feel the air circulating.

It's a strange thing though because I find being out in the wind makes me breathless.?

Best wishes

Jo

apparently it's something like the reaction to diving - rather than taking breath away, your body doesn't need as much oxygen ! handy

Have a easy breezy day

I use one all the time irrespective of the weather or temperature. Seems to make things much easier. Not sure why. As someone else pointed out being in the wind can literally take your breath away!

Hi all,

Iv`e had a fan in the bedroom for a long time, when I first went to see my pulmonary physio he also recommended I buy a hand held fan which I carry around with me. I must say its Brill, bought it from Boots and it cost me £4. 49p a bargin.
