Hello
At this stage keep on doing them and continue for at east a few months and where you feel that you can walk go about your daily tasks without any breathing issues
Some continue to do them for years after
I do not think there is any set time limit but would be to early yet after just 6 weeks , I would keep going x
i did them until my post op review which was around2 months post op.
at the review tue did a chest X ray and saw all was ok.
Pull air into your stomach where your hands are by taking a deep breath through your nose. With your breath, try spreading your fingers apart. Breathe out slowly through your nose. For one minute, keep breathing deeply.
