How PEP Buddy works and what people are saying?

PEP Buddy: A Game-Changer for Breathlessness

Introduction

PEP Buddy is a new type of positive expiratory pressure device that is used by holding in your mouth like a whistle. It is light-weight, hands-free, and washable, so you can use it throughout the day – during activities and while resting.

It can be used to improve breathlessness during and after activities, and to practice mindful breathing and reduce stress.

How PEP Buddy Works

PEP Buddy works in four ways:

• It gives a gentle back pressure when you are exhaling (positive expiratory pressure), which keeps the airways open and allows for more effective air expulsion.
• It slows down your breathing rate.
• It prolongs the exhalation time.
• It provides a point of focus to concentrate on while breathing.

General Benefits

PEP Buddy has shown positive results for many COPD patients, here’s what users are saying:

“This little device has made a big difference in my life. The breathing improves quickly after a few breaths. Definitely worth a try.”

“PEP Buddy is worth the price and much more for me. I wear it under my shirt, pull it out, and use it while driving or just sitting at the computer. It works better than regular pursed lip breathing because there's more resistance when I blow out.”

Reduced Anxiety and Stress

Many users have shared how PEP Buddy has helped reduce anxiety related to breathlessness:

“It helps me to slow down and be more mindful of the breath, also helping to relax tense muscles in the neck and shoulders. The better I breathe, the less fatigued I feel over the course of the day.”

“Using the Pepbuddy has really helped banish the anxiety due to being short of breath. I’m using the device as ‘exercise’ equipment.”

Breathing Retraining

PEP Buddy helps users retrain how they breathe, improving breathing patterns for better health:

“PEP Buddy has retrained me how to breathe correctly, in through the nose and out through the mouth. It’s a proper breathing technique and is simple to use.”

“It’s like pursed-lip breathing, but better and easier.”

Using PEP Buddy Before Activities

Many users find PEP Buddy especially helpful when preparing for physical activities:

“I use it when I knew a stressful situation was coming, like carrying heavy loads and stairs.”

“When I go to the grocery store, I put the device in my mouth in the car for the walk in, I keep it in for about 10 minutes of my shopping trip, and then I can complete the rest of my trip without it.”

Faster Recovery After Exertion

PEP Buddy has helped many people recover more quickly from physical exertion:

“It works great! I am so happy with the PEP Buddy, and when I am short of breath, it assists me to return to my normal breathing more rapidly.”

“I have to move tables and chairs. It would normally take me 15-20 minutes to recover after doing this type of activity. With the use of the device, it cut my recovery time by more than half.”

Summary Points:

• Portable and hands-free: PEP Buddy is lightweight, easy to use, and works throughout the day.
• Breathing improvement: It helps with breathlessness, reduces anxiety, and promotes deeper breathing.
• Recovery support: PEP Buddy improves recovery time after exertion and increases exercise tolerance.
• Breathing retraining: It helps users learn better breathing techniques for everyday activities and stress reduction.
