Why do people with COPD get short of breath during activities?
Learn from Dr. Zafar - a pulmonologist and past medical director of a pulmonary rehab program
PEP buddy is a small, hands-free device that helps improve breathing in people with COPD and other lung diseases. PEP Buddy works by 1) providing a gentle back pressure when you breathe out, which helps air tubes to stay open, 2) it slows down the breathing rate, 3) prolongs the exhalation, 4) helps you focus on breathing.
Clinical studies have shown PEP buddy to be effective and easy-to-use. 3 out of 4 people (72%) have a significant improvement in their breathing and quality of life. 1 out of 3 (36%) have better oxygen levels when using PEP buddy.

I stopped smoking for 8 months after 50 yrs
I have severe emphysema and bronciatrasis
M
My breathing did improve a little but now I have a terrible problem with humidity
I’m a prisoner in my own home
I’m allot worse of since stoping smoking why ?
I now sit with air purifier on 24/7
I have to have fans going
In summer is worse because we have pollen
Why have u become more sensitive to most things even cooking
I darent go near the kitchen if the cooker is on
I’m not saying don’t stop smoking
I’m saying for me it didn’t do me any good I can’t even travel in the car and have a day out
Humidity for me is now a massive problem since stoping? I’m that depressed because I can’t go out
And now having a massive flare where I’m that short of breath I can only walk approximately 2 metre
My oxygen is fine and just sitting I’m breathless
I wish I hadn’t stopped

For me stoping smoking I’m worse of
I’m 63 I had respiratory failure and pneumonia
I stopped thinking it would get better
8 months on I’m no better of because I have become more sensitive to everything and humility is a big problem for me
I can’t even go out

All of us smokers came from smoking parents, and stoled a cigarette from our parents, tried it and coughed our fool heads off, saying to ourselves "I'll never do that again" and look at us now, we all have COPD from our own stupidity!
