Will it help increase forceful expiration flow? I have copd.
1423844
I have had limited lung capacity and was given this in the hospital. I did not find a forceful expiration flow. However I used it at least 6 out of 7 days a week and noticed my lung intake and excitation had improved as long as I used it. Got lazy using it when feeling well.Now that I am getting older I need to use whatever products I can use all items I can to maintain what I have.

My brother has copd and I bought this for him. He informed me if you use it regularly it seemed to help with the depth of breathing. His breath became less shallow and deeper down in the diaphragm so it did help in that area.

It comes with directions to increase and decrease resistance and some instruction. Some of the reviews have great suggestions for usage. Basically, you start from the lowest resistance and complete as many comfortable deep breaths as possible. Gradually increase resistance from that point and use regularly.

I would say no based on the google pictures of this nebulizer. Other than a pictrure, I am not familiar with this device - sorry!

I am not the best person to answer this question but I can tell you the thing works. It allows me to breath more easily the method by which it performs this function is beyond me. Allow one more thought, I have been driving since I was 16 and I am now 69 and I still do not understand how the auto actually works however, I do know they both function well!

Yes. It has helped me a lot. It basically creates a relatively clean pocket of air under your nose. Of course, a few things are likely to slip through, but I find it a dramatic improvement.

The manufacturer says Yes to HP, no mention of torque in the answer. Although in a later answer on the same page, they mention lower airflow restriction is proven to increase HP and torque. http://www.knfilters.com/faq.htm#3

for my condition it is quite effective. I have small nostrils (narrow nasal passageway), large kissing tonsils and also I swallow my tongue....I have severe sleep apnea. It has cured my snoring. I.E. I now only breathe through my nose and no longer make any noise when I sleep. I will also say, I use it when I go running and it has done wonders...I have never been able to breath through my nose before. Also, I feel alot less tired now when I do aerobic exercises when I use it...it is cheap to purchase and a good deal. I have purchased two additional boxes for my sister's husband and also my stepmom...they are both embarassed about their snoring and also their sleap apnea. for my condition it is quite effective.

My husband asked me to buy this and he uses it on the elliptical and walking on the treadmill, approximately 30-45 minutes per day. He has been using the mask for about 3 weeks and says that he can tell that it's increasing his lung capacity. He bought it on the recommendation of an older friend who uses it daily who said it works for him. I can't say whether it will work for you but my husband is glad that he has it.

No but you can get an oxygen adapter from the company that provides you with your oxygen. Or you can buy one from a medical site like this one...http://www.directhomemedical.com/004204-uadapt-oxygen-enrichment-adapter.html?fe_feedid=119&fe;_code=004204-uadapt-oxygen-enrichment-adapter&utm;_source=googlebase&utm;_medium=CSE&utm;_campaign=feedexact&gclid;=Cj0KEQiA6JemBRC5tYLRwYGcwosBEiQANA3IBxlybTJ9U-OCOdVU9sGbKbv5MpyMywzxxSYXzFUE9H8aAvCv8P8HAQ#.VMbiFP54otE . i got mine from the oxygen company for free.

I trust you mean Optifiber. As I understand, all fiber supplements can, but I haven't noticed any increase in gas in using it.

It works both ways, there's resistance both in and out. Usually it's just out but this apparatus is a lung expander and so you the in as well.

It is a very subtle smell. I have copd and have to be very careful with odors.

No, but you can remove the piece inside the head that throttles the pressure to increase it as necessary.

No, it has a "turbo" setting but it doesn't increase the volume of air. Actually, the volume and pressure of air flow is so low it is all but useless. I would have returned the device except in the small print it says an opened box can't be returned and an unopened box has a 20% restocking fee plus shipping both ways. Amazon wasn't any help on the deceptive advertisement and calls and emails to the company went unanswered. The unit is all but worthless in my opinion and the company is a scam.

Yes it's just going to increase flow into and out of your filter but make sure ur filter can handle the increase in pressure

I believe it can go to 100%. I have resealed it since my cat died. I may need it for my other cat as she is developing asthma as well. I used it in an oxygen chamber, just laid it inside. You should be able to insert T in your O2 line with the sensor attached at that point.

I have tried the Advanced. While they may work just fine for some folks, they didn't seem to give me the 'open nasal' effect that Breathe Right Extra does. The Extra type are made with heavier material and they adhere very securely, keeping my nasal passages open all night. And, they remove easily, too.
