Re: Oboe and emphysema or COPD

Dear Susan,

I did a very big search this week, studying about every reaction I got on the net. Because I was so focused on it, I didn't find the time to answer alle the mails, since I also had to work during the weekend and I wanted to come with some real meaningfull results of the search.

I found out that asthma is actually the opposite from emphysema. You have astha because your lungs are in a spasm and too tense... Emphysema is because of the loss of the tension out of the alveoli caused by the breakdown of the walls between several alveoli.

Having asthma, playing oboe seems a good idea to me too. Because of the extra airpressure the lungs expand and the tension and the spasm in the lungs are relieved.

Having emphysema... It seems logic to me that playing oboe will worsen it because of the loss of the tension in the alveoli...

Best regards and thanks for your info,
Caroline
