Panic attacks
I have been on a quest to find something to relieve panic attacks without drugs.There are breathers specifically for panic attacks, but they are super expensive- so I gave this guy a whirl.It doesnât mitigate it 100%, but if you suffer from them- anything that helps is a serious improvement.I donât use it to inhale, I set the exhale on 4 and it keeps my breathing constant and my heart rate low.Panic attacks increase your oxygen because you feel like you arenât breathing properly and exhaling slowly to get your chemicals back in balance is what calms you BUT itâs hard to exhale slowly on your own accord during an attack.So, this little device has helped me tremendously, and I highly suggest it for anyone who has anxiety or panic attacks.(And I also saved $200 by not getting the panic attack breathing device- win)Since I only exhale in it, I have a lot of condensation and wash it a lot- using a hair dryer to dry it is a must for me 🙂

Breathing training
Easy to use and clean. Instructional videos are helpful. At one week in I think I can breathe somewhat more deeply. This may be helping with my jogging and swimming, but it is early yet. I have found that resistance to exhaling (lowest setting) is giving me a feeling of eardrum pressure (think jet plane landing) that lingers. Accordingly, I have discontinued that part of the “program”. So, I use resistance to inhaling but exhale through pursed lips, as I was already doing in my deep breathing exercises.

UPDATE: App is a waste of time
I have scarring on my lungs and have been using The Breather for a week. The Breather itself seems to work fine and I do think it is helping, but the app is a total waste of time. It worked fine the first time and I was able to chart what I had done. After that, I spent considerable time trying to find the chart that remains elusive. The app has a video telling you to breathe in and breathe out, but it almost made me hyperventilate because it is very fast-paced. I would recommend you look at youtube because they have some good clips to watch. After several uses, I am able to use The Breather without a video and my shortness of breath seems to happen less often and not for long periods. So, if you decide to buy this, don’t buy it on the presumption the app will help you out.UPDATE: It has been almost 3 weeks now using The Breather. I am so happy I ordered this device. My shortness of breath happens a lot less frequently and I can even laugh at times without coughing! It is so refreshing to be able to move about the day without shortness of breath, so I have more energy. I do have the occasional shortness of breath if I get over-stressed but it’s not as pronounced as it was, so I’ll continue to use this because my goal is to be able to laugh without coughing and actually breathe!

Easy to use and works great
I bought this product to help improve my breathing. I have been vaping heavily for a few years and I can only imagine what damage it has done to my lungs, trying to quit and salvage my health before coronavirus hits. It is simple to use and I have already seen improvement in my breathing in the few weeks I’ve had the product. It teaches you to breath deeper, even while not using the product! Idk how this is even possible, but I noticed that the product forces me to use muscles in my chest, abs, neck, and face that I don’t typically use when breathing my normal lazy, shallow breaths. For smokers and vapers who are trying to quit, while this won’t help with your nicotine addiction, it definitely will satisfy your desire to draw on a cigarette/vape! Whenever I crave a bit of my vape, I’ll do 10 long inhalations and exhalations instead and it definitely helps curb the vape craving!!!! Additionally, the breathing exercises are helpful for those who are interested in the calming/meditative feelings brought on by proper breathing. Sometimes it’s hard to focus on your breath when faced with anxiety or when trying to meditate, this product makes it so much easier! For those reasons, I can see myself using this product even long after improving my lung function and quitting my vaping addiction. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to improve lung function or anyone interested in improving their meditative breathing technique.

Device is good; app is horrible and annoying
Been using daily for about 8 months (though the app wouldn’t know). I set it almost at the highest level (more resistance) and use the “Endurance” training plan – 30 breaths morning and evening with one day off per week. Overall, I’ve found the device to be helpful and I keep it right on my desk which encourages consistency.The app (iphone for me) is very balky. Every time I tap on the app icon it’s an adventure. Sometimes it simply freezes at the main screen. Other times it will incorrectly show that I’m on a day off and it might stay that way for a week and/or until I change the training plan and start over. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app but that hasn’t helped.Perhaps most annoying is that when the app is (frequently) malfunctioning, I get emails asking me whether I’m okay and why I’m not being consistent in my training! In fact, I’m being very consistent with my training. The app really isn’t much more than a stopwatch with a voice saying “inhale” and “exhale” so I have to wonder why it’s so screwed up. I was able to contact the Help desk once early on after purchase, but not since. Easy to imagine they’re overwhelmed!I would say that about half the time I simply use my phone’s stopwatch and count the breaths. Not great for tracking my training but helpful for holding down the frustration and my blood pressure!Mike H

Es muy buen producto, no es para los que apenas empiezan la rehabilitación pulmonar pero posteriormente puede ser una gran herramienta.Recomiendo que un profesional te enseñe a usarlo, esta muy bien la app pero no es suficiente, cuando tienes daño pulmonar o dolor es diferente. Se limpia súper bien, es fácil de usar y es resistente.

Since using this product for a few weeks I can’t overstate how much my breathing has improved! During the day I feel excellent and no problems at all. During sleep my blood oxygen levels no longer drop below 90%. Actually they’re in the mid-90s now whereas they would always be 90% or below during sleep. Sometimes getting dangerously low.. I took 2 approaches.1) I used this device to strengthing by diaphragmatic breathing. Ensure that your belly is expanding and deflating when you breathe! When I strated using the device I could hardly blow out at the lower settings. Now 6 weeks later I am breathing in and out at almost the highest settings. It is still challenging but the results are amazing and I’m getting better every day. I no longer feel like I’m struggling to breathe throughout the day and I feel like I have good health for the first time in years!2) Although this device strengthens diaphragm by using the mouth to breathe, apart from that, I now primarily breathe through my nose whereas before I was mouth-breathing, which seems to be extremely unhealthy for me and NHS says we should breathe in and out through our nose and that the mouth is for eating, not for breathing. I am awaiting a GP appointment for suspected sleep apnea but in the meantime breathing through my nose during sleep and strengthening my lungs with this device has saved my life.I couldn’t recommend more!

Je ne peux utiliser ce produit car sa notice est en anglais. Tout produit venant de l’étranger pour la France doivent posséder une notice en français. Loi n°94-665 du 4 août 1994. Je trouve cela vraiment dommage, car ce produit à l’air utile et de bonne qualité.
