I ordered one of these over a year ago but didn’t use it much. Recently, I was in the hospital with pneumonia and remembered my PEP Buddy. It was a lifesaver during breathing treatments when I was struggling. They even considered ventilating me, but a respiratory tech calmed me down. This simple device helps reduce shortness of breath.

We’re all different, but this little device made a big difference for me. My breathing improves quickly after just a few breaths. It’s worth trying. Oh, my dog chewed my first one, and I was frantic to replace it—that should tell you how valuable it is to me!

PEP Buddy has made a big difference with my air-trapping issues from lung disease. It helps me expel old air, take in new oxygen, and breathe better throughout the day. Whether exercising, meditating, or recovering from activity, this device helps me feel less fatigued and more calm. A game-changer!

I got my PEP Buddy this morning, and it’s already helping with exertion-related breathlessness. I started on Level 1 but also purchased Level 2 for the future. My pulse ox is now 99, and I can walk further without struggling for air. This device is truly amazing and life-changing!
