Physiotherapy for plueral thickening
I have plueral thickening in my right lung. Earlier, I in 2015, I had plueral effusion. Currently in 2020, I had some complications in taking deep breath. I showed it to doctor, he said it's plueral thickening because of my old plueral effusion. He suggested me a mediciser in which I have to take deep breathes to push the mediciser three balls up. I am having okay results with it. Is there any other way, other than this that would make my deep breathes easier and make the thickening less. Please suggest.

Spirometry is one of the good technique for improving your lung and breathing capacity. As you are already practicing it I will suggest you some small alterations like you start holding the lifted ball (even if you are only able hold single ball) for some duration. Suppose you were only able to hold it for 3-5sec so dnt worry keep practicing it and it will improve your breathing capacity. Second it increases the frequency of the repetition of your breathing exercises.
Next Steps
suggestions for online consultation or in person with a good Physiotherapist
Health Tips
Daily practice will help you but it will take time to see the changes.

Spirometry (mediciser) gives you the best result if it is done with proper guidance.
Apart from that you have other breathing exercises like deep breathing exercise which will be taught by Physiotherapist in person.
Next Steps
You should visit a Physiotherapist in person or through video call for exercises.

Spirometer done in a correct way gives good results in improving breathing. Along with spirometry, there are certain breathing exercises which are very effective to improve breathing pattern, air entry and reduce breathlessness. I would highly recommend to learn these breathing exercises and spirometer from a physiotherapist. Considering your age, a physiotherapist can guide you regarding improving your overall cardiopulmonary fitness by assigning you an exercise program
Next Steps
consult a Physiotherapist along with your previous medical reports related to your condition
Health Tips
advisable to start and continue the exercises under the supervision of Physiotherapist to make sure that it's done correctly and there's no difficulty/complications while performing your exercises.
