Is that a good idea? – KenSome doctors and nurses are suggesting that people in the early stages of the illness do deep breathing exercises to fully expand the lungs, to get air and oxygen into every nook and cranny and to help clear secretions. Even before coronavirus, this technique has been used for years in hospitalized patients to strengthen their lungs and help prevent pneumonia.
