A bad coughing fit often means My lungs are clearing. I will feel much better in a bit. Usually after an inhaler. Or I have an embolism. That’s less fun

- hinkley 6y agoAny time lung health comes up and I can squeeze it into conversation: Belly Breathing is amazing. I started in college, and I have had two chest colds in my entire adult life (and only one up until a couple years ago). Diaphragmatic breathing (autocomplete tells me that's the word but it don't look right) assists the cilia in ejecting foreign matter from the lower lungs. When I was a kid I'd feel like I was drowning when the cold hit its apex, even when I was into endurance sports, and I knew I was on the mend when I started clearing my lungs. (If there's a downside it's that I clear my throat all the fucking time when I have a cold now, but I'll take loud over bacterial pneumonia)
