I've had what I refer to as chronically cranky lungs all of my adult life. I've been seeing a lot of people who don't normally worry about lung complexities ask questions about it, and my lungs are also going through their change of season crankiness, so now seems a really good time to write up some notes about things I've found helpful.
Disclaimer: My lungs are not your lungs. I am not a medical professional, and this is not medical advice (though in a couple of places, I will suggest some stuff you might want to discuss with a doctor if it's relevant to you.) Some stuff suggested for lung issues really doesn't work for me, and it's quite possible some of the stuff I suggest won't work for you. Do the stuff that makes sense for you. Consult with doctors if needed.
Sharing: (update, 5pm March 12th) Please share, if you'd like. Here's a Tweet if that's helpful.
For people who don't know me: I'm a librarian with (as you might guess) cranky lungs in my mid-40s in the Boston MA area. If you want other specific coronavirus info, I recommend Siderea's excellent posts or Flatten the Curve.
I am making this a public post, but reserve the right to freeze or delete commenting, or make it non-public if needed. Please be kind. Questions are great. Telling me what I (or others ) should be doing differently, not so much. Please check if advice is welcome before offering it. If you'd like (non-medical/non-legal, etc.) advice from people, feel free to make that clear.
