Breathlessness can be a difficult symptom to live with. But there are ways you can manage it. You should do below step for better health


Unhelpful breathing habits can make you feel more out of breath.
When you’re out of breath, you may feel like you need more air. So you may start to take more air into your lungs or breathe faster. You might then not take the time to fully empty your lungs as you breathe out. This means you use the top of your chest more to breathe, instead of using your whole lungs. Breathing like this is more work – your muscles will get tired more quickly, and you’ll feel even more out of breath.
Talk to a phyiother@pist to find the best techniques for you. If you don’t already have one, ask your doctor to refer you.
Breathing control
Breathing control means breathing gently, using the least effort. It will help when you’re short of breath or feeling anxious. This type of breathing is commonly used in yoga.
To get used to breathing control, it helps to practise when you’re sitting, are relaxed and not out of breath.
Breathing control is about the best use of your main breathing muscle, your diaphragm. The focus is on reducing tension, using your shoulder and neck muscles to get into the best position for you to breathe easily. Your diaphragm contracts when you breathe, so pulling the lungs down, stretching and expanding them. It relaxes back – into a dome position – when you breathe out, reducing the amount of air in your lungs.
