BREATHING THROUGH DROWNING LUNGS
—SHOULD YOU NEED TO ©

As a lifelong severe asthmatic, I can add to that:

1. HEAT on your mid-back.
It keeps the mucus from hardening in your lungs.
Lying on a warm surface, on your stomach, IN THE SUN, will warm your lungs AND add vitamins D and K to your beleaguered body.
I call it “baking my lungs”, and have HORRIFIED passersby, seeing me face down on my balcony...

2. Kids’ warm-air humidifier, WITH eucalyptus drops in the water, unless allergic to it.

3. Pummeling your lungs, gently but firmly, however you can, keeps mucus moving.

4. Use your inhaler like you’re taking a hit of dope, multiple breathes in, before you release. You’ll learn to feel the air getting to the BOTTOM of your lungs.

5. Just taking breaths like that can help to keep the bottoms of your lungs oxygenated.

6. Prop up. You won’t have the strength to SIT up, but propping your lungs more vertically will help mucus from settling in the backs of your lungs.

ONE CORRECTION: I think his exhale should be a harder expellation of air, like a big “HUFF!”—even make the noise. That makes your diaphragm drop, and further expands your lungs.

WELCOME TO MY WORLD
