Title: Lungs
Post by: nirvana on May 15, 2007, 11:29:25 PM
Is there a way to recondition your lungs into strung oxygen pumpers after they've been exposed to second hand smoke for 5 years?  It's not that I can't breathe but that I can't get deep breaths sometimes which leads to some discomfort.  I'm sure some of it is also due to being a little out of shape.

Sure dude... but it may be a good idea to see your doc first.

Take care of yourself bro :aok

the readers digest version... get in shape and give it time.  the lungs will repair and clean themselves when the source of contamination is removed from the environment

The simplest thing to start doing is to take real deep breath to work them.  I use to smoke two packs a day and it took me three month of hacking before I started to feel better.

Going to the doctor wouldn't be a bad idea, I just generally avoid them nowadays.  Just trying to get in shape for the military (hopefully).

Start running, that will work the lungs well too.

I run if I get off work early, otherwise I tend to lack the motivation to do so.

I quit smoking 19 days ago and have run, rode, climbed or swam every day since. No pain no gain. Don't be a *****.
