OVER 23 POINTS THEN YOU MAY HAVE poor BREATHING HABITS

 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).

DID YOU KNOW?

Good breathing means proper allocation of carbon dioxide (CO2).

Did you know that CO2 is precious and essential to your health and performance?

Did you know that you exhale only about 15% of the CO2 entering the lungs (at rest)?

Did you know that if you exhale too much CO2 you may be in creating serious problems for yourself?

Do you know that through improved breathing habits you control your body’s chemical balance?

Proper allocation of CO2 is about regulating acid-base physiology.

CO2 regulates the pH level of extra-cellular body fluids:-blood and cerebrospinal fluid, electrolyte balance, sodium and potassium, blood flow, like to the brain and to the heart:- kidney physiology, like bicarbonate regeneration; and delivery of oxygen and nitric oxide (for vasodilation) by haemoglobin.

CO2 deficiency is known as Hypocapnia .

CO2 deficit can result in profound physical and mental changes.

Disturbing pH and electrolyte balance, by exhaling too much CO2, may have immediate and long-term effects that trigger, exacerbate, perpetuate, and/or cause a wide variety of emotional (anxiety, anger) cognitive (attention, learning) behavioural (public speaking, test taking)and physical (pain, asthma) changes that may seriously impact your health and performance.

Insidious (secretly causing harm) Overbreathing/semi-hyperventilating (SHV), behaviour leads to CO2 deficiency, hypocapnia.

Conscious Breathworks (CBW) breathing behaviour is subject to the same principles of learning as any other behaviour, including the role of motivation, emotion, attention, perception, and memory. Tens of millions overbreathe, semi-hyperventilating behaviour that accounts for symptoms and deficits unexplained or falsely attributed to other factors.
