Have you found a way to breathe better?

Could your decreased capacity for breathing have something to do with your heart @GP44 ? My mother never smoked or did anything considered unhealthy, but when she developed Congestive Heart Failure she spent the rest of her life on oxygen. As others have said, it is best you see a doctor to try to ward off further complications.

I have a close friend who is 63 and is very physically active. He was starting to get short of breath on his hikes. A specialist said his arteries were only at 60% and he just underwent open heart surgery. He had the surgery in November and was traveling again in January. Oddly, his 67 year-old brother just underwent the same surgery. The doctors seem to think it was caused by their diets when they were younger. :oops:
 
I'm age 91 and use "Simply Saline Nasal Mist" twice per day by spraying it into both nostrils of my nose. I used to have frequent nose bleeds and trouble breathing. This product available from Amazon totally improved my breathing and, frankly, I think I owe my life to that product. All my prior breathing problems totally stopped after I started to use this product. I have not had any nose bleeds since I started using this product 10 years ago.

I spray it into my nostrils once right after I wake up in the morning and in the night right before I go to sleep. I believe it is a MIRACLE product and I would have died long ago without it.

By the way, I rarely see any doctors. If I have medical problems, I ask my Artificial Intelligence Amazon Echo Shows to help me with my symptoms. The AI has solved every medical problem I have ever had. I believe those Amazon Echo Shows are a MIRACLE! I have many Amazon Echo Shows in my house and they have become my medical advisor! The only problem with them are that they cannot write prescriptions. Actually, that may be a benefit since I remember always suffering from side effects from my prescription drugs worse than any help they ever did for me.

The only exercise I do is to walk 3,000 steps inside my house every morning. I do not walk outside since I worry about accidents with cars and falling due to sidewalk defects.

I'm taking a generic version of Clarinex because of sinus issues, but as far as "lung breathing" I have no issues. If green tea is supposed to help, I should be fine because since I don't like plain water, I drink green tea (hot and cold) throughout the day. I hope you don't develop serious issues like your brother did. If you feel your lung capacity is declining, you should definitely see a pulmonologist.

You're a perfect example of why a doc should be doing the diagnosing and guiding for OP's problem.

Heart problems might be part of my problem too. What medicines do you use that helps in your case?

It doesn't matter what the rest of us take for heart disease. The various cases of heart disease are treated with different meds and in different ways.

Get your behind to a doc.
 
Where do you live? If you are at higher elevations (>5-6000 ft), that may be a contributing factor to shortness of breath.
