    Can you tell me Which Pep device will better help me? I see there’s different versions. I have ILD. PF and some PH. Thanks

    • @pepbuddy
      @pepbuddy 18 дней назад

      For ILD, it might not help you with oxygen levels or shortness of breath. PEP buddy works well for COPD as there is flow limitation in COPD. It reduced shortness of breath and improves oxygen for most people with COPD. The reason why people get short of breath with ILD is different from COPD. But PEP buddy can help you with mindful breathing and stress reduction. Level 1 PEP buddy will be best to start.

    Would this be useful for me I have very severe emphysema and find it extremely difficult doing any activities now I can just about walk approximately 5 metres I use an Aerobika as often as I can to help get the plegm up but on some days I just can’t blow into it all even in no 2 setting I have seen this advertised before but thought I was probably to far advanced now ? I don’t have oxygen as my levels are normally betwwwen 93/95 I’m also a co2 retainer I would definitely try one of theses if they help but the lady on the video was saying about playing tennis there is no way I can do any kind of exercise apart from just walking in my own house

    • @pepbuddy
      @pepbuddy 26 дней назад

      PEP buddy is more helpful for people who are more breathless. In our clinical studies there were several people who were limited like you and they found it very helpful. So we do believe it will be helpful for you too. Three out of every four people (~75%) see an improvement in their breathlessness and quality of life with the use of PEP Buddy. It is possible that you would be the 1 in 4 who does not feel better with it. The only way to know is to try it. It takes a few days to know how best to use PEP Buddy in your day. On our store you will find two levels of PEP Buddy (level 1 and 2). Level 1 is easier to use and best for starters. Wishing you better breathing :)
