WellO2 Oy

The WellO2 Steam Breather is an interesting concept. I was interested to try this device after a post-operative experience a few years ago where the anaesthesia left me with atelectasis, or partially collapsed lungs. The surgery was fine, but I had to remain in hospital for several more days due to low blood oxygen levels. The thing that really helped me at the time was breathing in saline vapour, which seemed to open up my airways and loosen the congestion and mucus in my lungs. The WellO2 is quite different because you are breathing against resistance, which makes it somewhat uncomfortable at first. I feel I was making progress and using was becoming easier until I was recently forced to pause on account of some unexpected major dental work. I wonder if the WellO2 could be recommended to patients, especially those of us who are older, who are contemplating surgery under general anaesthetic? As lung capacity and condition is always something the doctors investigate.

I was excited to try this product but it took me a while to work out how to get it apart to clean it before use even with the instructions in the box. I was so scared of breaking it I finally went online and it was all much clearer.I suffer from asthma and chronic bronchitis resulting in difficulty breathing and regularly coughing up thick mucus. The mucus is hard to cough up at times and makes it hard to breathe so I was expecting big things on my first use. It was much gentler than I imagined and although I felt slightly dizzy using it I did cough up a bit of mucus, my initial thoughts were I wanted it hotter and harder but I felt a bit more free in my chest after the first few day.After the first week I was really feeling it under my lower ribs like real" exercise. I'm not sure if I am doing it too hard as sometimes it makes a whistling noise and I can't find anywhere in the instructions or online if this is a good or bad thing.I've now upped it to level 2 and things are going well - this level seems better suited to me for some reason although I did miss a few days which resulted in an itchy throat feeling like I was getting a cold. The one thing I find difficult is finding the time to fill it
