Do you have a paralyzed diaphragm? This causes one lung to not function to capacity.

Before my next dose of madapor I often feel I can’t get a proper breath. I’ve been meaning to buy a blood oxygen measured to see if it’s just in my mind.

It’s quite scary and mine is only minor.

Are you having this problem?

in reply toAstra7

Yes. I need oxygen tank or concentrator 24/7

Sorry to hear about this. Did the doctor say what caused it? How long have you been needing the oxygen?

Unknown for two years

So sorry to hear that. I have had so much encouragement from your posts about B1. I do hope you will find a way round this one.

Espero que esto te alivie. Una vez en el trabajo, soy oficial de prisiones, estaba un poco ansioso. Un buen compañero y amigo me dijo: respira con tu barriga y no con tu pecho.

Estamos acostumbrados a la respiración torácica, que nos estresa aún más, mientras que la respiración abdominal se relaja y hace que el diafragma se mueva.

Respiración budista, taoísta, chi kung. Investiga para ver si puedes movilizar el diafragma.

I hope this relieves you. Once at work, I'm a prison officer, I was a little anxious. A good companion and friend told me: breathe with your belly and not with your chest.

We are used to thoracic breathing, which stresses us even more, while abdominal breathing relaxes and makes the diaphragm move.

Buddhist, Taoist, chi kung breathing. Research to see if you can mobilize the diaphragm.

I did abdominal breaths a dozen times with no benefit noted.

I’m sorry to read this Roy. It’s hard enough getting around without needing to drag an oxygen tank or converter around with you. I hope you can somehow overcome this. I believe in the power of prayers. I had many prayers and thanked people. I really didn’t have much hope because PwP don’t get better. Then I discovered your Facebook group. I’m proof PwP do get better. I had lost hope. Now I have hope and can see a positive future. I will pray for you. Take care Roy and believe. Thank you and so many others for bringing us Dr. Constantini’s protocol of high dose thiamine hcl. 🙏🙏🙏
