My take on C.O.P.D. and one of the things I do to cope with this debilitating disease.
Co2 builds up in the lungs and that is why you are short of breath. This exercise will not heal your lungs. It will however stretch your lungs so you can take in more air and expel more Co2. This exercise I have developed helps me greatly. By not being able to take deep breaths, parts of our lungs are not used and Co2 builds up in these areas. This exercise will help expel built up Co2. I came up with this exercise right after I had 2/3 of my lung removed. The Co2 buildup prevented me from taking a deep enough breath to exhale the Co2 from my lungs. The parts of my lung that had the Co2 buildup died because those parts were not exercised which left them hardened with no elasticity. Those parts were hardened and dead and were removed. Exhaling all of the Co2 buildup from your lungs will most likely help you live longer. July 14th 2024 it will be 9 years since Doctor's gave me 5 years to live. I truly believe that this exercise is one of the mean reason I'm still here. I do this exercise 3 to 5 times during the day and at night before I close my eyes and every morning before my feet hit the floor. let me explain why we build up Co2. We never fully inhale or exhale. You can take in your deepest breath and there will still be room to take in more air. You can exhale your deepest breath and you can still exhale more air. When you take in that extra air you will feel your lung stretch and when you exhale that little bit extra you will feel the muscles around your lungs contract . The more you do this, the more you are training these muscles around your lungs to squeeze out all of that built up Co2 from your lungs. That is what you are striving for. As the days go es on do this exercise when ever you feel a little out of breath, you will feel your breaths getting deeper over time. If you wear your oximeter at the same time you do this exercise, you will notice that your oxygen levels will go up a number or two while your exhaling, because you are getting rid of some of that built up Co2 and letting oxygen get into those areas that up until now were occupied solely by Co2. By doing this 3 to 5 times during the day, you are exercising the lungs to get them into better shape. Now that you have learned to inhale, Exhaling for those of us with C.O.P.D. can be difficult, make sure you are in a chair you can't fall out of (your recliner is your friend). You may get lite headed doing this exercise (better safe than sorry Sit Down). Your lungs are surrounded on 3 sides by muscles that you can train. To get started take your deep breath hold it for one second and exhale. When you feel that you are at the end of the exhale, you need to push out more and more air than you have in many years. I am to the point now that I can exhale for about 20 seconds. When I started the exercise, 4 extra seconds was my limit. You will feel the muscles around your lungs contract. You may get a little light headed while exhaling that last little bit of Co2. The very last part of that exhale is all of the built up Co2 leaving your body. Now take in a deep breath that will force fresh oxygen into the parts of your lungs that only Co2 occupied before starting the exercise. Now take in the deepest breath that you can muster and hold it in for 4 heart beats, then and exhale fully (really push it out). Now breath normal and your oximeter numbers should be up one or two numbers. The more you do this exercise the more air (oxygen) you can take in, because you are stretching your lungs to hold more O2. Your lung will never heal, but what we can do is stretch them out to hold more oxygen there by making more O2 available to the healthy parts of your lungs so it's available for the rest of your organs to make the overall human body work better.
