Just a question, is anyone using a Dyson air purifer to help them breath easier?
Hi
I saw that no one had replied just yet so I thought I’d add a couple of thoughts to your question. i think air purifiers take dust and dander out of the air. if these aggravate your cancer then perhaps it would help.
If youre struggling to breathe maybe you should get an oxygen concentrator installed at home or if you have one already, have the oxygen level increased. I’d talk to someone about it. Ours was ordered by our GP and came the next day to have ambulantort oxygen we did need a special appoitn at a lung function clinic. I imagine this is the same elsewhere.
My partner doesn't have lung cancer but the liver tumours means her liver is considerably crushing her lungs. The concentrator, now set at 4litres has been a boon. She’s also found having a fan pointed at her face helps.
Good luck finding something which helps you.
An air purifier is very important for our room. Because air purifier is needed for our room suitable. If you want to buy an air purifier then you will research more and more. If you do not research then you won't get a good air purifier for your room.
I think the brand of purifier is not that important. All depends on the machine itself. I'm using an Envion Ionic Pro Turbo, I'm not sure if it helps especially to breath, but it is useful. It clears the air in the room, so I can fall asleep faster than before, and my headache disappeared after buying it.
Anyway, I hope if you bought it, it helped you.
