Breathing Problems
I am a clinical respiratory physiologist with eight years experience of both routine & non routine lung funciton testing. I am experieneced at interpreting your spirometry and blood gas results which are currently performed by nurses in your community/chest clinics. This helps bridge the overview of your case management from both clinical/allopathic and homeopathic perspectives.
How much does repeated infection cause your immunity to further deteriorate?
Infection causes your chest symptoms to become much worse and makes you more dependant on your inhalers, antibiotics and steroids which increases visits to your doctor.
The primary treatment of infection is antibiotics-a major feature of the bodies immune system is the healthy lining of the airways and gut and normal gut flora. Although antibiotics may successfully remove the symptoms of infection. With each course of antibiotics you are putting further stress on your natural immunity.
How can I tell if my immune system is poor?
- Persistent lethargy despite sufficient rest and adequate diet.
- Exhaustion, poor ability to recover from limited exertion despite good management of inhalers.
- Poor Digestion/constipation/distention/water retention.
- Low vitality and depression.
By using the remedies you are reducing further stress to your immunity. The remedies work alongside allopathic medication. Your homeopath is your soul point of contact regarding your breathing difficulties. All appointments are made with them directly.
4-6 weeks post infection your system is still susceptible to further infection and you are more likely to experience -Persistent rhinitis,mucus production, Persistent dry coughs, Poor sleep hygiene, broken sleep patterns, Persistent upper chest tightness, shortness of breath in exertion.
My additional approach is to identify how you are experiencing your current breathing problems and prescribe remedies specific to these symptoms.
