Has anyone tried the Breather? Does anyone else get busy at night?

@maryjanechilds I too hesitate to add anything more to my routine - and would not do it before I consulted my pulmonology team. After reading about it, I am not convinced that it would be an improvement over using the Aerobika and exercising.

@sueinmn
I asked my pulmo recently about using a device to strengthen lungs (Incentive Spirometer) and he said what I was already doing was better (Aerobika). I do not imagine it would hurt to try the breather and see if it helps any but I would be more concerned about keeping it clean.

@sueinmn I can only comment on my experience and since I also have asthma I would frequently get chest tightness. Since adding The Breather it has significantly improved my lung capacity when I’m exercising and I feel less tired and can exercise longer with less effort. It is basically exercising your lungs while you’re using it so I get even more benefit. It is totally different than the Aerobika.
