Blessed relief

[trevbtn36]

To all my fellow COPD's

Two weeks ago Whilst attending my respiratory clinic I spoke to a Junior Doctor and explainig how very breathless I get, and he said "have you tried a hand battery operated Fan"? I hadn't but I have tried this for about 10 days now and I find it a big relief, it dont make you recover any quicker but the cooling breeze blowing across you face is quite pleasant and diverts any panic. Difficult to buy now, wrong season, but easy to buy off ebay and they dont cost much so worth a try. Good luck

It's good to hear you've found something that helps you Trev

When I'm a passenger in our car I love to have the window down and take as deep a breath as I can ....... it's a lovely feeling !

Even in the winter with the central heating on, I like a fan to turn on if necessary. A hand fan is a good idea. Annie80

I keep a fan clipped to my bedpost. Especially good when it is too cold or damp to leave the window open all night.

I have tried this and it does work. Got one upstairs and one downstairs.
