I am now 33 and have had difficulty with it my whole life. Mine acts up whenever I am overly stressed. It has varied from lack of sleep to anxiety. I have established strict routine in my life to compensate, but with the recent death of my mother and birth of my daughter my attacks are a lot more frequent. I fear I have developped a heart palpitation too. I know my symptoms and how they go from bad to worse, usually starting with weak bowels and I become very pale as my blood pressure drops. Then if I don't start to control my breathing it will progress to pins and needles in my hands and feet followed by muscle cramping in those areas. I am fearful of it getting worse. What would you suggest what I should do as a course of action? I live in western Canada and my family doctor is more focused on saying its an anxiety disorder rather than CHVS. He is not the same doctor that diagnosed me and I haven't seen that doctor since the initial diagnosis, (moved across the country.) Thank you for posting this though.

Correcting dysfunctional breathing in not an overnight process. You can work with a local Practitioner or with me via online course. Or you can buy books or DVD set and try to do it yourself. If you decide to take a course, since you are under 16, one of your parents or guardian should be present with you, so it would be best if you direct them to contact me. If they Email to info@asthmacare.us I will help them to find a Practitioner closest to your location and also give them info about online courses. If they'd like to purchase DVD set for you and you think you want to try to do it yourself, here is the page http://www.asthmacare.us/Books.html. Dear Jacob,

But it is mostly the worst at school when I think about it all the time. And I feel like I am the only 14 year old with this problem. Anyways if you could help me with this problem I would greatly appreciate it. dear admin,

Since then I sigh deeply allot of the time and it feels good to get a deep breath and my chest feels painful and tight allot of the time but it comes and goes. But Im also experiencing aches and pains all over my body, arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, toes, back..and I feel so tense and being out in the cold makes these feelings worse. I get twitches every now and then. The only place I feel relaxed is when Im in bed and I sleep very well without any interruptions (apart from the odd twitch). I am scared its Fibromyalgia :( I've recently got back into my exercise and I don't feel any of these aches and pains when I am, which is strange. Im seeing a Rheumatologist soon so hopefully I will get an answer then..?!?!

]]> Comment on Breathing Myths that are detrimental to your health by Jennifer http://www.asthmacare.us/ac_blog/?p=1173&cpage=1#comment-5643 Jennifer Mon, 28 Jan 2013 14:05:27 +0000 http://www.asthmacare.us/ac_blog/?p=1173#comment-5643 This is beautifully helpful too bad I did not understand this sooner, but we all need time to grow and learn. I find this is absolutely true; I used to deep breathe when I was anxious or nervous only to find my excitability with palpitations and muscular contractions continued and seemed to progress until some time passed which took a while. Finally decided to do the CO breathing into my shirt and sense the sedating effects almost instantly. I used to wonder why during heartburn or sleeplessness I slept better and woke up more comfortably when I had a blanket over my head. Now I know. Been working on finding natural sedatives for my bidy for stress relief and I found another, yay! Animals actually do this too; cats and dogs curl their nose into their tails sometimes or paws, and horses lean their muzzle flat on the ground. I used to think oh CO is waste air and is no use breathing back in but I see that God has use for it too! :D <3 Thanks for the article I guess I figured out why I else I had anxiety issues for a while besides nutrition. I had a bad habit of doing that deep breathing and hyperventilating a lot. This is beautifully helpful too bad I did not understand this sooner, but we all need time to grow and learn.
