In a movie clip, a British doctor explains how to breathe in a special way if you get sick from a virus. The doctor shows you how to breathe deeply and hold your breath for five seconds. Then you must repeat five times and the sixth cough at the end, at the crease of the arm, of course.
Monika Fagevik Olsén She is a professor, a specialist in pulmonary medicine and a surgical gymnast at the Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg. She says that for people with COPD, for example, it can be good to do cough exercises to get mucus and get better oxygenation.
But different breathing exercises can’t protect against covid-19, she says.
– When it comes to preventing the disease from getting sick, there is no evidence that any breathing exercise has any effect.
Yes already If you are sick, it is not dangerous to do the exercises, but the effect is short-lived.
– If you are sick, it does not hurt, it can feel a little nice to breathe deeply and it is not dangerous. But the effect is short-lived and I think you shouldn’t emphasize it. So it’s better to try to get up as much as possible because then we automatically breathe better, she says.
