If it’s obesity then it might be too much weight, the muscles responsible for breathing is your diaphragm and intercostal muscles the muscles in between the ribs if they’re not strong enough to lift that excess weight then you can’t take a full breath because it’s compressing too much causing way too much effort.

Vaping is showing the same complications as smoking, if not worse. This is not new news but has been studied.

Honestly, you should ask a pulmonary doctor that can run tests. You can speculate, but that just increases the anxiety drive and makes you feel worse.

Yes you should and I would highly recommend pulmonary rehab by at least a well known program like “homerehabnetwork” they do telemedicine and hold the highest success rate at 98%. National average is 15-30% success rate. Breathing might be difficult at first but no worries.

A respiratory therapist don’t get the proper credit they deserve, to answer your question, yes of course but choose a clinic or just make sure the respiratory therapist is specialized in pulmonary rehabilitation. I’m a respiratory therapist and CEO of HRN providing pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation through telemedicine. We hold a 98.6% success rate and win numerous awards in the field of pulmonary rehabilitation. We (respiratory therapists) are the first go to clinicians that make massive difference in any disease when it relates to lungs. Most of us spend 4 years alone in school in just respiratory while most to all other professional clinicians only require a semester in the subject.
I think you get my point

They don’t prescribe, neither does a nurse, a physical therapist, or occupational, we provide therapist to people to improve on body parts your trying to function better. No medication will ever exist to fix non compliant lungs or the muscles that open up the airway and getting them stronger but exercise therapy. Most of my guys that get a 50% increase in lung functions had to do with therapy, not medication.

Depending on what kind of asthma, I would decrease the onset of potential inflammation caused by exercise by having her eat apple slices 15 min before exercising ( it will decrease inflammation by 30%, it’s like an albuterol treatment) lower carbohydrates in the morning ( carbohydrates get digested and the byproduct is Co2 Causing an increase in the body) C02 increase will cause increase work of breathing which can cause asthma to worsen. Now exercise, hand bike and stationary bike exercises are fantastic, if your out of breath..your already seated. Especially with pulse sensors and keeping track of the heart rate. (220-age= max HR) when CO2 is high heart rate will be high because the heart rate for the body is trying to pump out the CO2 it’s a good indicator.

Oh of course, but with wheezing, bronchial dilation will be necessary. I would talk to your doctor about it.

Of course if they are specialized in it. I’m a respiratory therapist but I specialize in pulmonary rehabilitation.

Yes, lavage works well. Even a nasal bulb. What I do first is find out why is his nose running first then treat the symptoms.

You might want to have HRN do the therapy, it’s covered by insurance and they hold the highest success rate.

Talk to them at least, it’s a very recommendable program

I would suggest the most I expensive test first, an overnight pulse ox or at least have HRN (www.homerehabnetwork.com) send him a sleep study kit to your home and they will find everything out from his own home.
