I've had a PEP buddy for over a year now, but really only experienced it's benefits in the last 4 months since I started to use it regularly.
Its like pursed lip breathing but without the conscious effort to slow down and control my in halations and exhalations.
I can regulate my breathing faster and more easily with PEP buddy.
I find it to be well worth it.

Hi!! A quick update...Practice makes perfect with the PEP Buddy!! A little background so you know what Im going thru..I have multiple breathing issues, and anxiety. I used to purse lip breathe, with the best of em! But in the last couple of years my anxiety has taken over, and Im spending a lot more time hyperventilating. The PEP Buddy makes you almost have to focus on your breathing. You put a plastic mouthpiece in your mouth, and breath in thru your nose and out thru your mouthpiece.The only problem im having is the anxiety part of my breathing,and I know its all mental, I feel like Im not getting enough air and the air going out is taking to long. Honestly..its not I just need to retrain my brain! Ive only been at it a couple of days, so Ill update again in a few weeks! Oh I forgot, they suggest practicing while watching tv, I think thats a great idea, and Ill be trying it next!!💜

Thank you @A MyCOPDTeam Member for sharing your expérience, Hugs 😘
