Why is there so little discussion here of the side effects and dangers of both short and long term from the use of inhalers or even long term oxygen therapy? For example, did any doctor tell you that the use of Spiriva Respimat doubles the risk of cardiac arrest? I had my worst flare up on the first day of use. And I have stopped using ipraproprium bromide (Atrovent/Berodual) because after a couple of uses I get feelings of extreme weakness accompanied by worrying heart arrhythmias that l can… read more

I’m again back on oxygen therapy after a month in hospital on a different matter. Whilst in hospital my sats were up and down nurses were forever checking my sats and blood pressure as soon as sats got lower up the oxygen levels went then if sats were ok back down went oxygen levels. It was said not enough oxygen in my blood stream. I have COPD and Asthma along with other ailments I’m puzzled as I thought you got oxygen therapy for your lung disease can any one enlighten me please
I love Dr Berg ! I’m learning so much from him
Have any of you who are in Pulmonary rehabilitation (or have already been) participated in harmonica therapy as part of your program? If you did do you think it was helpful?
I use one of these 2x a day, very helpful
