 You can change this result by having your breathing pattern assessed and learning how to breathe as we are meant to.
How do you know if you are overbreathing?
Answer the following questions:
 Can you hear yourself breathe?           Do you often sigh?       Do you breathe through your mouth? 
      Is your nose continually blocking?          Do you have anxiety attacks?         Do you yawn excessively? 
                                     Do you wheeze?               Do you get short of breath?           
                                           Can you feel the upper chest move when you breathe? 
                  Do you have an irritable cough?                   Do you get asthma following a chest infection?  
               Do you clear your throat often?                                    Do you get headaches or dizziness?     
                                                Are you anxious for no apparent reason?
          Do you wake in the morning still feeling tired even though you have slept through the night? 
                     Do you pant?                             Do you blow your nose excessively?

If you answer ‘yes’ to 2 or more of these questions, you are most likely hyperventilating (hypocapnia).
