JK Rowling has revealed a simple breathing technique which she says helped her recover from coronavirus. The Harry Potter author shared a video on Twitter showing an NHS doctor demonstrating the me…

Writing on Twitter, she said: "Please watch this doc from Queens Hospital explain how to relieve respiratory symptoms.

However, those who are self-isolating at home with symptoms may also find it helps relieve symptoms, he said. He cautioned: "You've got to understand that the majority of your lung is on your back, not on your front.JK Rowling says the method helped her beat coronavirus"This is not good during the period of infection and can lead to what's known as atelectasis, which can lead to secondary pneumonia."

"So make sure you breathe through your nose when you're out shopping for essentials, and keep your mouth shut. It can help reduce your risk of catching coronavirus."1. Breathe through your nose - it helps you engage the diaphragm and get a fuller breath. It also encourages the release of nitric oxide from your nasal passages which increases the oxygen uptake into your blood by 15%

Dr Munshi continued: "The most important thing is laying in bed for prolonged periods, on your back, is going to close off the small airways. It can be for a number of reasons, including that the back of the lung has a larger surface area of the front.

This has just been featured on TV with a Dr explaining it is used a lot by people with COPD etc

If UK Rowling says she has had positive health effects from this breathing technique, why would be get upset about that. As a human being with a brain of your own, if you feel ill then take appropriate measures to seek medical advice

pam3152 Here's the breathing technique that will help keep you alive if you have CV19. 1) Breath in 2) Breath out 3) repeat.

Thank you Dr. Munshi much appreciated advice. Also thank you for being on the frontline. We may not be there physically but most certainly in spirit and hope.

This clearly sends out wrong message idiot 🤔

Irresponsible from Rowling. People wont bother going to hospital now.

JK Rowling reveals breathing technique that helped her recover from coronavirusThe technique is used every day in intensive care units but is very easy to do at home too Has this been approved by NHS? I’d be a bit wary about sharing it otherwise. This is what I did/do after having a deflated lung and pneumonia. Definitely helped. Once a virus is inside you, it's inside you and it is too small for a macro action like controlled coughing to affect it. COVID19 or so says my Microbiologist son. I know who I believe.
