       ATLANTA — There is a lot of misinformation out there about
       possible cures and things that you can do help you get over the
       coronavirus if you become sick.
       
       Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling tweeted out a video of
       breathing exercises that she says helped her get over the virus.

       But can breathing exercises help you get over coronavirus?
       WSB-TV took that question and other concerns from our viewers to
       WellStar Health System pulmonologist Dr. Chirag Patel.
       
       “I think we need to make sure, deep breathing, those breathing
       exercises that have been alluded to on the internet, those are
       always beneficial,” Patel said. “It’s important to take deep
       breaths, a bulk of the oxygenation exchange happens in the base
       of the lungs. You want to have those airways open to make sure
       you’re able to clear out debris and viruses.
       
       “Does that mean it keeps you from having the infection? I don’t
       know that there’s any science for that,” Patel said.
       
       Some people who have contracted coronavirus say they have a
       feeling like having shattered glass in their lung. So, Estevez
       asked Patel what kind of feeling people will have if they become
       sick with the virus.
       
       “I don’t necessarily know that you feel anything different, but
       when you are symptomatic with the COVID virus, you are going to
       have more difficulty breathing,” Patel said.
       Patel then talked about the help a machine called an incentives
       barometer does with keeping your lungs cleared.
       
       “When you go to the hospital and you have pneumonia, or you have
       a surgery of some kind, an abdominal surgery, they give you a
       machine called the incentives barometer. It is something that
       actually opens your lungs up. They ask you to do it two to three
       times an hour. The purpose of that is to open your lungs up so
       you don’t get pneumonia, you don’t get an infection, and so you
       have to liken these deep breathing exercises at home to using
       the incentives barometer, without having the incentives
       barometer in front of you,” Patel said.
       
       Estevez asked Patel if there is something that you can do at
       home if you ended up with a mild case of the virus.
       
       He said taking several deep breaths about once an hour will help
       keep your lungs open and clear of fluid.
       
       Breathing exercises can, strengthen your lungs, which can reduce
       virus impact on your respiratory system, also improved lung
       ventilation, which is the ability of the lungs to expel carbon
       dioxide and stale air. Use digital breathing coach OPUMP, help
       you to effectively complete the breathing training course,
       develop good breathing habits, and record your every breathing
       state.
