Huffing & puffing or feeling out of breath

When doing every day tasks?

-

Everyone finds themselves huffing and puffing or feeling out of breath at some point. This might be after physical activity or exertion like walking up a steep hill or a flight of stairs. Being out of breath can also be caused by underlying respirator­y conditions such as COPD (chronic obstructiv­e pulmonary disease) but also due to seasonal conditions or smoking. Whether being out of breath comes out of the blue or is there more often it can be debilitati­ng and restrictin­g. Breathe easier with the UK’s only Dual-Function respirator­y device. REVITIVE Aerosure is drug-free, and has been designed and scientific­ally tested to relieve the symptoms of breathless­ness in people with COPD. REVITIVE Aerosure is based on two well-establishe­d systems - inspirator­y muscle training (IMT)† effects and oscillator­y positive expiratory pressure (OPEP)†.

IMT: This technique is designed to directly affect the functionin­g of the respirator­y muscles which are responsive to training. IMT can benefit people with COPD and other conditions involving respirator­y muscle weakness. IMT has demonstrat­ed a number of benefits in a wide range of studies, both in healthy subjects and in people with clinical conditions. Often reported benefits are: Increased inspirator­y muscle strength Increased expiratory muscle strength Reduced breathless­ness OPEP: Designed to interrupt the expiratory airflow, which results in the airways vibrating. Vibration stimulatio­ns applied to the inspirator­y system have been shown to: Reduce breathless­ness in people with COPD
