Oh…relief. My person just started pepbuddy and it is doing what a lot of talk, Multiple videos on purse breathing or explanation could not do. It’s helping him do purse breathing correctly and he feels better and we are/were in the beginning of a mini exacerbation. I’ll post updates. I read about pepbuddy on Reddit COPD subgroup but they don’t seem to understand the device. I am so optimistic right now!🙌🙏thank you dr for your good research and simple but brilliant idea! I love that it prevents air stacking and helps fight hyperinflation (is this right?) does it help reduce CO2 build up?
Thank you for sharing your feedback and experience. Yes! It does exactly what you said. We have not measured the CO2 levels directly so I can not confirm. I hope the user will be able to do more activities with more confidence now
If you are using it for COPD or lung diseases, then it will help reduce shortness of breathing during activity/ walking. It’s hands free, so can be used while you are busy with activities. It also helps some people recover faster after activities. So use it whenever you feel short of breath or about to do activities that make you breathless. If you want to use it for relaxation and mindfulness, then using for 5 minutes, two to three times a day is a good start. Most people will figure out how they find it useful and develop their own habit. I hope this helps
I too have this… I started practicing the breathing techniques because for weeks I’ve had a shortness of breath feeling all day long and worse at night or it’s like I feel like I need to yawn but can’t 80% of the time. Maybe because I’m not thinking about it while working? Though when I do the exercises I too have the yawning. Is it normal I wonder? Will it go away?
Yawning occurs when someone is hyperventilating, so I'm not surprised this occurs with COPD too. I may have it, and I too have been yawning alot when short of breath. It's because your body isn't breathing OUT the co2 it's supposed to, and yawning is a behavior humans do to actually get rid of extra/too much co2 (from not being able to sufficiently exhale the breath out). Even though you breathe in big, you are mostly breathing OUT alot more than when breathing normally.
Also, when you yawn, your breathing tubes in your lungs expand extra wide. It's probably not that the yawning happens because you are doing breathing exercises, but because *when* you are doing breathing exercises you are likely short of breath, and it's the shortness of breath that causes the yawning- not the exercises.Yawning helps to regulate oxygen and Co2 levels. Additionally, yawning can help your lungs redistribute the mucous in your lungs to spread it to areas that may need more. Dehydration can cause yawning; and dehydration causes your lungs to not work as well.

How long should you use Pep buddy in the morning or anytime during the day? 5 minutes 10. Appreciate your advice.
