I can't even go to the bathroom and back without being out of breath and gasping for air. It feels like I have been kicked in the stomach very hard kind of out of breath. I am on oxygen 24/7 already. I can't raise my arms above my head or lift anything either. I am overweight and know if I lost weight it would have to help. I do not overeat and have cut my sodas down to 2 a day. I maintain my weight but can't exercise. If you know any tricks to exercise please let me know please
iv joined rehab the first few lessons killed me but thet teach you how to breath properly which i found amazing as thought i was try it its helping me and belive me even going upstairs was killing me
I walk very very slowly and if I go to the grocery store I use their wagon to lean on and walk the store as I shop as it is great exercise not the best but you are moving anyway.
Try and buy a little gadget called a abdomin exerciser it costs a few pence on eBay and it is good for deep breathing and control and it is small enough to fit in your pocket I have one and I hardly use my ventolin now I just put it on my mouth and you can't help but deep breathe it stops my panic attacks also have a good day Dorothy hartlepool UK
I found a plastic pipe thing that you slip into your mouth one end sticking out with 3 tiny air holes to inhale when you breathe in you automatically deep breathe I find I can control my panic attacks and I am not using my ventolin so muck and that has stopped the shake's has anyone else seen or heard of it it doesn't look much but it is a little gem I will try a get more info on it I bought it on the eBay it only cost pence it came from China I can't put pics up not that bright hope all has a good day Dorothy hartlepool UK
Do you drive? If so "physical therapy" is the answer. You are assisted, monitored and start out slow. After a few visits you will be amazed at what you can do, physically and mentally :) It helped me so much and have now started to lose some weight and I even stopped taking my depression meds :) We have to push ourselves that's for sure.......Good Luck
