Can The Addition Of Dehumidifier To AC Help Deal With SOB?

Yes, you can add dehumidifier to your AC.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Humidification of air if too much can cause breathing trouble.
So you can add dehumifier to your AC vent.
Since you have only 35% of lung tissue, dehumidifier will not make a great difference in SpO2 improvement.
But it will surely decrease your breathing trouble that you are facing at present.
One more thing I would like to recommend is chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercise with incentive spirometry.
Regular chest physiotherapy will improve your remaining lung's function and thus improve your breathing trouble.
Also use venturi mask for precise oxygen delivery.
So discuss all these additional information with your doctor.
And you can use dehumifier to your AC.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
