Any experience with expand-a-lung?
Has anyone tried using the expand-a-lung? I've recently started using it, since I quit smoking. It seems to be helping a lot with my breathing, and keeping my lungs clear. Would be interested to know what other people think.
I had to look this up, but I did have 2 similar devices that I had to use in, and shortly after, my ICU stay. One worked on inhalation strength, the other on exhalation. Both did help me during the rehab phase, and I still have the one for exhaling, as that seems to be my bane of existence. I can breath in just fine. It's getting it out where the problems begin.
Thank you for getting back to me. I really was hoping for more advice and opinions on this device.
This is an article I found for exactly the same device I continue to use since therapy ended. This device you mention targets the same areas as this does, but I would suggest that you may be able to avoid some hype and talk to your doctor about getting one of these. As with any 'for-profit' sales of 'new' devices, the mousetrap has already been proven to be a trustworthy device as well. Rarely do I see a better mousetrap.
