Hi John, thanks for your info in this post. I think someone else said
something similar way back about this, concerning short blasts of exercise
being beneficial to breathing and the whole system in general. I do have a
hereditary weak chest inherited from my father, and although in good health
generally, if I get (rarely) 'flu, then it does go straight to the weak spot
I seem unable to cough as well, so the bit you said about the muscles etc.
would seem to apply there. However, I have bought a salt pipe and already
am seeing a difference where I can actually cough now and the deep pain in
my back has gone, so am going to keep this up. I will also do exercises as
you suggest. Thank you. Dee

These symptoms of the chest are not confined in their relation to the inner
lings of the chest, as regards infections. They may also be , and often are
when chronic, due to the chest muscles, their blood and nerve supply, the
myofarcal membrane. THese are both postural flexor muscles involved with
breathing. They also affect the mucosal lining in that their exercise helps
to maintain loosening and renewal.
Exercise is the remedy, and yoga is about the most specialised, though
other exercises have much in common.
