According to the writer, special breathing exercises from the doctor of the Royal Hospital Sarfaraz Munshi helped her in this. She shared the corresponding video on her page in Twitter, noting that her husband advised her to get acquainted with him.

Important: remember that breathing exercises are not a substitute for medical care.

“Please watch this video from the Royal Infirmary to learn how to relieve your respiratory symptoms. For the last two weeks I have had all the symptoms of COVID-19 (although they have not been tested). I did this on the advice of my doctor husband and made a complete recovery. Technology helped a lot,” writes Rowling.

In the video, Munshi explains that with coronavirus, it is necessary that the human lungs work as best as possible and supply oxygen to the body.

He claims that this can be achieved with the help of special breathing exercises. At the same time, it must be done from the first day, as soon as the symptoms of the disease have manifested. However, if a person begins to perform exercises while being healthy, then this will also beneficially affect him. In particular, Munshi advises the following manipulations.

1. Sit straight. Take a deep breath and hold your breath for five seconds. Exhale. Exhaling should take about the same time as inhaling. Repeat five times.

For the sixth time, take a deep breath, hold your breath for five seconds and now don’t just exhale, but as you exhale, cough hard with the sound “khaaaaa” into a napkin or cloth. This combination should be repeated twice.

2. Lie down on your stomach with a pillow, and for ten minutes lie down and breathe a little deeper than usual. Repeat this regularly.

The doctor also advises less lying on his back, if there are signs that the person is sick. Indeed, in this situation, pressure is exerted on the lungs, which do not open completely and begin to work worse.
