Yes. I remember the last time I had to go to emergency for breathing issues ppl were taking their masks off to cough. They are hard to fit without professional help. In my case I am also sensitive to smoke, etc and it just helps to have that layer filtering the air.
Same. I can smell smoke a couple blocks away in the winter and it makes me start coughing right away.
In case it’s helpful I recently worked with a speech language pathologist on cough suppression and breathing techniques and it helped. They train singers, etc Had never thought of it but they also know a lot about breathing!
Mine happens very seldom. I use an inhaler maybe once or twice a year, if even. So I'm pretty lucky in that sense. My friend actually trains singers too so I might ask him about those techniques. Thanks for the tip!
Lucky you. I have lots of triggers. And with the air quality going down it’s worse I was just happy to discover another specialist who could help.
