Hormone Therapy

According to a study of 3,713 women presented by Triebner at the 2017 European Respiratory Society International Congress and reported in Pharmacy Times, women who took hormone therapy for two years had better lung function compared with women who never took MHT (Yeager 2022)”.

Sinusitis

Sinusitis problems, which can be enhanced because of perimenopause/menopause, lead to the following symptoms: pain and tenderness around the eyes, forehead, and cheeks, blocked nose, dry nasal passages, sneezing, impaired sense of smell, sinus headaches and migraines, excess mucus from the nose, an increased temperature; relief from sinus problems: air purifier, steaming, hydration (Pike 2023).

Osteoporosis and Inhalation

“Hormonal changes are also implicated in osteoporosis, which shortens the height of the chest vertebrae and may, in turn, limit the amount of air a person can inhale,” (Triebner 2016).

Supplement Risks

Vitamins, minerals, herbs and amino acids might help improve or maintain your well-being, but they can present potential health risks, like interacting with other medications you already take (Mayo Clinic 2023).

Pursed Breathing

The American Lung Association says to practice “pursed breathing” for 5-10 daily; exhales should last longer than inhales–2-3x longer (Yeager 2022).
