(Newswire.net — October 1, 2015) Sydney, NEW SOUTH WALES — According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) approximately 12 million adults suffer from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is believed a further 12 million people suffer from COPD but are undiagnosed. Worldwide, about 5 percent of the population, or approximately 329 million people, have COPD. In 2013 COPD resulted in the deaths of 2.9 million people, a figure that continues to rise.
COPD is a type of obstructive lung disease that is chronic and progressively worsens over time. COPD includes lung diseases like emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Symptoms include shortness of breath, a tight feeling in the chest, difficulty breathing, increased mucus production in the lungs, wheezing and coughing.
The Drug-Free Device Helping COPD Sufferers
Now, sufferers are finding relief of symptoms with a drug-free hand held respiratory device that helps to open the airways and loosen and expel mucus from the lungs.
The Breathe & GO respiratory device is a TGA approved and FDA approved device that is 100 percent drug free. Used by hospitals and medical staff the world over, the Breathe & GO respiratory device is scientifically proven to help improve respiratory function and lung capacity.
Able to be used by people of all ages from 2 years to 100 years, the Breathe & GO lung exerciser uses Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) to help loosen mucus from the lungs.
PEP is a commonly used treatment for those who suffer from COPD and similar lung conditions, like asthma, cystic fibrosis, atelectasis and sleep apnoea. PEP is a natural pressure that is created in the lungs when you use the Breathe & GO respiratory device that helps to stop the airways from closing.
The device consists of a mouthpiece and reservoir that houses a small steel ball and valve. As you exhale (breathe out) through the device, the ball rattles against the valve, creating vibrations that go deep down into the lungs, loosening mucus, making it easier to cough up excess sputum.
Not only is the Breathe & GO respiratory device used by those who suffer from COPD, but it is also commonly used by professional athletes, executives, smokers and anyone looking to maximise their lung function. Used regularly, the Breathe & GO device works like a lung exerciser, keeping the airways flexible and open. When your lung capacity is at its optimum, maintaining your health and wellbeing is easier because your body and all its systems have enough oxygen to function effectively.
Breathe & GO Helping Combat Harmful Effects of Air Pollution
The device is also being used to counter the effects of air pollution, something that is becoming a hot topic as it is having very harmful effects on virtually every person no matter their age, current health condition, their occupation, geographical location or lifestyle.
