Thats why heart failure patients use c.4 pillows in bed.
Thats why heart failure patients use c.4 pillows in bed.I remember having pneumonia when I was 2. My mum told me I turned myself onto my tummy to sleep yet I was normally a back sleeper.
As an obese adult that isn't an easy option now but I have learned that the next best thing is to sleep in a sitting position on the sofa. It astounds me that doctors didn't use this method already.
This breathing technique may help coronavirus patients feel better
The idea is to get the lower part of a person’s lungs to expand so that any mucus that’s collecting there can be dislodged and coughed out.
A breathing technique said to help people with COVID-19 symptoms is getting praise from “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling and CNN broadcaster Chris Cuomo.
A British doctor — identified by The Times as Dr. Sarfaraz Munshi from Queen’s Hospital in London — demonstrated the exercise in a YouTube video that's received almost 2 million views since Friday.
In it, he urged patients to begin practicing the technique right at the start of their coronavirus infection or even before any symptoms began.

Strange how knowledge gets lost. One of the comments from an old time nurse about proning being standard practice back in the day was very telling.
I discovered what caused my saturation to drop the first time I wore my oximeter overnight. Flat on my back is absolutely the worst position and I'll be gasping for breath within a short space of time. Same thing with arms above shoulder height. Sitting upright gives me the best readings. I've never been able to sleep on my stomach though, so that is out. Hmnn, are there such things as prone pillows with a face cutout similar to massage tables? Part of the problem with front sleeping is the discomfort from neck twisting to the side. Having big b**bs doesn't help either, lol.
Which does make me wonder how many of the deaths so far have been caused by putting people into a coma and ventilating them (on their backs of course). Killed by the treatment and not COVID-19... I guess we'll never know.Flat on my back is absolutely the worst position
Some of the U.K. based ones only state they can detect antibodies for 33 days post being symptomatic (unclear if this is from onset or resolution mind you). Not a lot of use a few months down the line if that’s all they cover. I guess maybe they might pick up a strong antibody reaction longer but nothing is certain about that.Approved for USA - how long before PHE test it and buy it?

There were reports in the U.K. that some tests could only detect the antibodies After 28 days - it takes that time for them to build up to a level where the test can work.Some of the U.K. based ones only state they can detect antibodies for 33 days post being symptomatic (unclear if this is from onset or resolution mind you).

Blaming the NHS and it’s treatment methods?

It’s obviously the G5 masts that are the problem and the lifestyles some of us choose to follow.
Purely in a diabetic perspective you understand.
What do you thinkG5 masts, your joking.
Yes . I appreciate that. Fortunately or unfortunately I’m in a position of knowing a bit more than a lot of others regarding what is happening in the hospitals at the moment, especially regarding covid.No.. simply asking a question.
Shame we'll likely never find out the truth.
My reading is that 'no pre-existing condition' is the 5th most common 'pre-existing' condition, so people with no pre-existing condition are at a higher risk than people with diabetes alone - the 6th most common pre-existing condition! This tells me that these numbers aren't terribly helpful for predicting one's own risk. As 2.7 pre-existing conditions was the norm, presenting numbers by a single condition doesn't really tell us very much. Also, as you, say this is only things listed on the death cert where pre-existing conditions 'usually' aren't listed if they weren't seen as a contributing cause.So those well controlled with no complications or other conditions don’t fall into the higher risk groups?? Or is my interpretation wishful thinking?
