Looking For Recommendations For Breathing Tool

[officermayo]

I quit smoking three months ago after 50 years and am looking for tools to help increase my lung capacity.
Any suggestions?

Ditto: Swimming gives you no choice but to breathe in a relaxed manner, and at the right time, and to inhale quickly, and exhale in a controlled way, which sounds a lot like the requirements for playing a brass instrument.

While a gadget might allow you to quantify the volume of air you exhale, nothing is going to come close to the great effects of low-tech swimming.

With all respect for swimming and other types of aerobic exercise, he asked for a device.

The device I like is the Breath Builder: https://www.originalbreathbuilder.com/

Good doctors prescribe the right medicine.

THANKS! That's what I'm looking for.

Good doctors prescribe the right medicine.

I have COPD and my diaphragm is paralyzed. There's no medicinal or surgical procedure to help me.

Swimming is out of the question? It can be very low impact...
