"Some of our astute followers have noticed me slurring my words. I am not drunk but working with Brad it would be justifiable. I had 6 infected cysts removed from my mouth (noncancerous) and I have residual scar tissue and numbness. I will try to do better. Thanks Bob."

Appreciate this so much! Became very ill in January 2020 and did not recover until May. But unable to fill lungs completely until end of August. Breathing capacity still not at all what it was before—become breathless so easily. Thought this was my life from now on. Will order the breather immediately. So grateful. Have checked out the PN Medical site. Extremely informative, walks you through everything.

Thank you!
I have had asthma for almost 30 years and wished there was something like the device tou introduced. No one has ever told me it existed. Thank you so much.

[alenacombs]

Thank you. Excellent video. I have asthma/copd never smoked but my asthma makes it’s hard for me to breath and consistent cough at times.

[jennifersantos]

I just read a study that used a breather device to lower blood pressure as well as medicine.

[smdium]

Got shortness of breathe after I got Covid it really messed me up I still can’t smell 7 months later but thank you for this video!!!

[NatureRocks.]

Just bought a breather, can't wait to start using it!

[PROofHAPPYWHEELS]

I had a shortness of breathe due to a narrow palate, which equals a narrow airway. Lot of people dont know about this.

Mouth breathing / incorrect oral posture is usually the cause.

[dispatchdebbie]

Super excellent!!! Cannot believe it's been around so long and I've never heard of it!

[beverlyhollenbeck]

I’ve always had breathing problems, even when I was in marching band in high school! Yes, I’ve always been overweight. My allergist ran lung capacity tests and says I’m in the NORMAL range for my 60s age group. I’ve had pneumonia twice over the years. Going to try these!

The post Covid 19 issues are real. I've experienced some cardiac related things: Shortness of breath, rapid heart rate with minor exertion, periodic light headedness etc. The virus can enlarge the heart and create latent cardiac issues. If concerned consult a cardiologist for scans and testing. Do NOT OVEREXERCISE if you have these symptoms.

[bambigardner]

Great information! I ordered a Breather tonight and looking forward to using it! Thanks!

[jackiewald]

Iron deficiency gave me shortness of breath!

[diannebrown]

Never thought of this. I have been tested for shortness of breath. They don't know why I have lost a quarter of lung capacity.

[tonycollazorappo]

This is great, I have asthma and sometimes I have breathing issues. I want to use these, I've heard of them and have used them at my allergist.

[glendawoodward]

My friend of 50 years had covid in December, healed up, went back to work. In may she was having shortness of breath. Went to the hospital, got put on a resperator, at 58 years old never came off the resperator and died.

What is the difference between the breather and a volumetric spirometer that they have you use after surgery with the lines on it?
