If it’s obesity then it might be too much weight, the muscles responsible for breathing is your diaphragm and intercostal muscles the muscles in between the ribs if they’re not strong enough to lift that excess weight then you can’t take a full breath because it’s compressing too much causing way too much effort.

Vaping is showing the same complications as smoking, if not worse. This is not new news but has been studied.

Possible asbestos related issues?

Honestly, you should ask a pulmonary doctor that can run tests. You can speculate, but that just increases the anxiety drive and makes you feel worse.

A respiratory therapist don’t get the proper credit they deserve, to answer your question, yes of course but choose a clinic or just make sure the respiratory therapist is specialized in pulmonary rehabilitation. I’m a respiratory therapist and CEO of HRN providing pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation through telemedicine. We hold a 98.6% success rate and win numerous awards in the field of pulmonary rehabilitation. We (respiratory therapists) are the first go to clinicians that make massive difference in any disease when it relates to lungs. Most of us spend 4 years alone in school in just respiratory while most to all other professional clinicians only require a semester in the subject.
I think you get my point

They don’t prescribe, neither does a nurse, a physical therapist, or occupational, we provide therapist to people to improve on body parts your trying to function better. No medication will ever exist to fix non compliant lungs or the muscles that open up the airway and getting them stronger but exercise therapy. Most of my guys that get a 50% increase in lung functions had to do with therapy, not medication.

Depending on what kind of asthma, I would decrease the onset of potential inflammation caused by exercise by having her eat apple slices 15 min before exercising ( it will decrease inflammation by 30%, it’s like an albuterol treatment) lower carbohydrates in the morning ( carbohydrates get digested and the byproduct is Co2 Causing an increase in the body) C02 increase will cause increase work of breathing which can cause asthma to worsen. Now exercise, hand bike and stationary bike exercises are fantastic, if your out of breath..your already seated. Especially with pulse sensors and keeping track of the heart rate. (220-age= max HR) when CO2 is high heart rate will be high because the heart rate for the body is trying to pump out the CO2 it’s a good indicator.

My son was premature and often wheezes. Can a respiratory therapist help us?

Oh of course, but with wheezing, bronchial dilation will be necessary. I would talk to your doctor about it.

Can a respiratory therapist help in treating sleep disorders for my mother?

Of course if they are specialized in it. I’m a respiratory therapist but I specialize in pulmonary rehabilitation.

What can I do for my son's runny nose?

Yes, lavage works well. Even a nasal bulb. What I do first is find out why is his nose running first then treat the symptoms.
