Getting out of breath is the most common problem faced by people with COPD in daily life. Simple activities can become a challenge. One of the main reason for getting breathless (dyspnea) is a process called Dynamic Hyperinflation. This is when too much air stacks inside the lungs making it hard to breathe. This is a very uncomfortable feeling and makes a person anxious. In this video, Dr Zafar - a pulmonologist - explains:

PEP buddy is a small, hands-free device that helps improve breathing in people with COPD and other lung diseases. It also helps reduce anxiety and stress. It makes mindful breathing easy and quick to get the benefits of breath control.
PEP Buddy works by 1) providing a gentle back pressure when you breathe out, which helps air tubes to stay open, 2) it slows down the breathing rate, 3) prolongs the exhalation, 4) helps you focus on breathing.
Clinical studies have shown PEP buddy to be effective and easy-to-use. 3 out of 4 people (72%) have a significant improvement in their breathing and quality of life. 1 out of 3 (36%) have better oxygen levels when using PEP buddy.
