My wife was diagnosed with pleurisy a week ago. She has been having a tough time the past 6 weeks. We found out that blunt force trauma could be what caused it. First thing we thought of was the car wreck in late October.
Last night she asked me if I had any ideas to strengthen her lungs now that the meds are making it easier for her to breathe. My first thought was swings on the minute with nose-breathing and long recoveries. Which would mean low reps, with pretty light weight.
This is (IMO) the best community to ask for input on this topic. I have researched online and found the standard post-pneumonia recommendations of breathing exercises, etc.
