Lung function

[nsd_user663_20558]

Goodness me. I just walked round to the corner shop and took some experimental deep breaths.

I have asthma and was thinking that it seemed much better. One of the ways you test the severity of asthma is use a little lung function meter; you take the deepest breath you can and blow into it as hard and fast as you can.

I could never use that thing without coughing. Never. And there was always a kind of rattly sound when I reached the end of the blow.

It's gone. Completely gone. I just blew out huge breaths really hard and fast and didn't cough once. No rattle. Did look a bit mad walking down the street doing this, but whatever ...

What a present for my one month anniversary. I know it sounds daft but it's given me a real boost.

I know quitting is always the right choice but now you have physical evidence that you made the right choice to quit

Yeah, and it's always nice to have the physical evidence to remind you of what you've achieved (specially on bad days).

Sounds great, well done!

Thanks - I'm really pleased because I do a lot of acting, and this should help a lot with my voice/projection. Last year I played Cleopatra in a college garden, very open space with nothing to contain the sound and a lot of wind and noisy trees to contend with. No mics, and a two week run. And I was puffing away backstage regardless. It nearly bloody killed me!!

I'll be able to project like Brian Blessed now
