Hi,
I am 73 years of age and new to the forum, and have IPF, finally diagnosed in April 2018 I had problems.originally in 2011 and had a lung biopsy, they thought at that
time that I had IPF but after working on my fitness I managed to get my
lung capacity back to normal for someone of my age, and it was thought
that I might have had a bad infection.
I have been Ok for a number of years but started having problems again in
2016 and now suffering quite badly, I would appreciate any advice, I have just
started pulmonary rehab and was thinking of trying POWERbreathe, has anybody
with IPF had any success with this equipment.
Best regards
Tattyoldgit
Hi TOG
I don't have IPF but I have used the power breathe. I think any effort made all adds up to fitness. PR great start and exercise ongoing of course, any aid, any kind of exercise, all pays off long term I have found and variety of different exercises too, hope you will find your fitness level improving again before too long and soon you are breathing easier.
Best wishes BK
