Steaming increased breathing problem
My pulmonary doctor suggested me steaming
I feel steaming increases my breathing problem
Every time i take i feel my breathing problem increased for few hours after taking steaming
(Just started taking plain steaming
Not adding anything)
Is it possible that plain steaming can increase breathing problem
Or I am just that it's not possible?
I am post covid patient
Yes. Steaming is not helpful in all the cases. As you are a post covid patient, you must have a decreased tidal volume as of now. Normal steaming may irritate your mucosa which may lead to excessive cough and shallow breaths. Consult for better management of your symptoms.
