whens the next live yo???

First of all I would like to thank god through this hard time cuz not breathing right and gasping for air was my hell I had to keep my faith that I was going to get out of this after 5 hellish days and also thanks to these breathing techniques they helped allot and if you can get some sleeping pills to knock out cuz this can drive you mad keep your faith and you to will start breathing too.

Thank you so much. Just watching your video cured me 95% by reducing my anxiety.

I have been dealing with sudden anxiety for the past 2 years and the breathing problem is definitely something very scary. No matter how many inhales I do, I felt I couldn't fill my lungs enough. Someone who does not experience this, cannot really understand how bad this is. I am glad I came across this video. Thank you.

Came across your channel after struggling with air hunger for a few years. I’ve been on sertraline for depression and anxiety for also a few years. I don’t think I need to take antidepressants anymore and have never linked anxiety with air hunger. You may be the answer to my prayers

You fixed my air hunger after 2 years of breathing for myself I finally let go and realized it’s all automatic and was just in my head and I stopped coughing too

ive been on ssri,s for 10 years now ,is it possible to come off them and find alternatives ,my anxiety starts with a lump in my throat that feels like i cant swallow ,its very hard to ignore

I have anxiety it feels like my body does not want to breathe

Doing that controlled paused made me realise just how out of hand my breathing has been getting. Nearly immediately I felt that urge. I guess if my breathing patterns have been going untreated for multiple years now, it's going to take a long time to get back to what was my normal. But I truly hope following some of the recommendations on the video along with my doctors that things will at least start getting a little easier soon.

You’re the best.

How long do you need to do exercises before you start seeing improvement?

Great message 👍

Could someone tell me to does a nebulizer help with breathing to i have copd to thank you!!!

I can confirm that's the best strategy-recovery technique I tried for my over than 20 years of anxiety overbreathing and shortness of breath during panic

😀😀😀

i just watched your video with damon cart and hearing you explain how it began has really helped my anxiety because mine started in a similar way, i got bit by a tic and i got scared and searched the symptoms of lymes disease and saw one of them was lung disease. ever since then ive had the air hunger pretty much off and on

I just discovered your channel. Wow, i have watched a few of your videos already and you are what I needed to hear. Love your humor too! Cannot wait to catch your next live. New sub here.

Would you agree that sometimes some capacity has to be built…. Meet the client where they are and build. Also There is a heuristic in our culture that we rely on the professional to ‘do’ something to us to solve the problem. And clients can often present in alignment with that - somehow it would be rude to say ‘I want to sort this situation for myself but need your help to get me over the line’

what you said I felt everything…I don’t wanna breathe from mouth but my nose is closed on one side and i start feeling I can’t fully breathe….for years now I have been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks...I have started a new method with energy for months now I feel better but sometimes i feel it doesn’t help me because panics comes and go sometimes very bad and sometimes controlled …its all about mindset…sometimes i can’t do exercise because I’m scared of death (i have my health ) but my mind thinks I can’t if anyone feel this thing and he has health stand up grit your teeth and fight it you are not alone!!!! And pray to god!!thank you very much for your video it helps me feel better now !!!!

I know this is all in my head, I’ve had symptoms from chest pain that went away after reassurance, I woke up with morning nausea and heart palpitations, I went to the doctor he said heartbeat sounded fine, lungs sounded healthy, heart rate was healthy. So really there is only 1 reason all this is happening. All I had now is this air hunger, which I really only feel when I’m consciously thinking about my breathing, if I’m distracted my breathing is something I forget about, and I also feel air hunger when I first wake up in the morning and feel the urge to take deeper breaths.

If you have a shortness of breath and it turns out that you have good working lungs and heart. Then check if you have Nasal Obstruction. Which is checking your nose. That is what I checked, and my doctor said that I had a really bad Nasal Obstruction. So I am getting surgery most likely to take out the obstruction. It was a relief to finally find out what was causing my shortness of breath. So I advise everyone to not stop checking what can cause your shortness of breath because there has to be an answer. It took me 3 whole months not knowing what it was. :(

somebody linked your video in a Reddit thread & I couldn’t be any more happy. The shallow breathing as helped a ton

Even if I dont focus on breathing it just feels hard to do and like im running out of oxygen and my head gets light

The fact that it's so rooted in me that I don't feel any threat when it comes to whatever makes me anxious, I just start suffocating because of the air hunger anxiety has caused. I might be very confident and outgoing and talkative but start suffocating...

Hi Howard, I struggle with this issue, and I’ve been practicing this technique for the last week. I’ve been feeling a bit better, but still struggle with the shortness of breath from anxiety. I still get it in anxious situations at work or it will come on in waves throughout the day for hours. Over time, does this method help even in times when your body perceives a threat and you get shortness of breath as a result of that?

Does anyone know if the Wim Hoff technique helps with this phenomenon?

Brilliant never thought of it like that suffered for years this man is amazing glad I came across you😊😊 thankyou

I do this for like 5 times and a need a deep breath through my nose at the end? Is this okay? I dont deep breath while doing the exercise its at the end?

Thank you im going to try this

Its weird because im in my safe place at home Relaxed and calm and its still happening

Its like everything is anxiety with doctors, fnd its anxiety..air hunger dyspnea its anxiety, the doctor said she would refer me to physiotherapy to meet but then only sent me a link off google with anxiety breathing exercises,

You are a saint. I was diagnosed with a heart problem after I had (my first) air hunger attack because of my mental health meds and thought I was having a heart attack. I thought I couldn't breathe because of my heart but turns out it's been causing me a lot of anxiety!

Its day 2 I have been doing the breathing exercises and I feel worse. My breathing is started to like to disappear and I cannot breathe. My hands are started to feel weird too. I have tingly sensation running through my hands. And when I do shallow breathing through my nose it feels worse. Is this a part of the process, pls helpp and let me know!

I got my CO2 levels checked and they came back normal. Does that mean this doesn't apply to me or does science work weird and maybe this can still apply to me? I would pls like if u replied, Howard. Thanks for your time as always. I am suffering rn of shortness of breath.

Does anyone else feel like they can't breathe in through their nose at all? And when u do breathe in through your nose, does it make your body feel worse and your breathing worse? I would pls like to know if anyone else is experiencing this.

It affects your self-esteem, and this anxiety probably does make it worse. But I also have it bad when I lie down to sleep; this tells me that it isn't all in my head. It could be intermittent asthma because it is not every day I suffer from it. Ive been months without it bothering me. Ive had all the checks at the doctors, and no problems were found. I've recently been eating better in the last few months; I've never been healthier infact than I am now, and yet my breathing has gotten worse. So, It could be connected in some way to food or my new eating habits. It could be something as simple as not eating enough in the day, low blood sugar, low electrolytes, the list goes on.. and it's frustrating not knowing what it is :(

I have been struggling with a severe shortness of breath these past 3 months. I have just been so hopeless, and I've just been purely suffering. To make a long story short, my doctors and cardiologists have told me I am completely healthy after going to the doctors so many times. So now I will try these breathing exercises starting today and see what it does. I really hope this works because my life has been basically really miserable, and I'm purely suffering because I feel like my breathing is completely blocked off and I just can't breathe fully from my mouth and especially through my nose. This is the weirdest problem I ever had in my life. Not being able to breathe for almost no reason. I just pray to God this works. Thanks, Howard, for sharing your knowledge on this. Let's see what happens to me soon after doing this consistently everyday. I am 18 years old by the way and I know what a full breath feels like and now I can't breathe but Ik soon I will breathe like I used to hopefully. I'll keep you updated and anyone else if they care.

I am suffocating so much and breathing exercises do not help me, it actually makes me worse. I feel like I am holding my breath 24hrs per day. I have been suffering this for 3.5 yrs since Covid. I have long covid and have hypoxia. I also have had a few pneumonias and constant infections. Chest pain etc too. My gas exchange is abnormal in lungs and been told I have a breathing pattern disorder now, dysautonomia and MCAS. I feel like I will never get better and been housebound for 3.5yrs because of lack of oxygen. It has completely destroyed my life, hopes and dreams 😢

youre amazing thank you so much

Do I'm not dying 😂thank you so just need to think positively...I'm so happy I got to listen to you ❤❤❤❤❤

May God bless you thank you so much

😂😂😂omg I had that thought exactly 💯 but must tell you after watching you first video now I did the exercises and almost immediately I felt relieved...and listening to jou now made me laugh thank you so much❤❤

Do you still have support groups online ?

Is your program to do with hypnosis? I am Leary of hypnosis but I need to find what could work for me to help me get out of anxious thinking and panic on a daily basis. I feel anxious then feel I am stuck in the past traumas from my childhood which started early and kept going… and then I feel hopeless to change. How would you address this mind set? I want to learn to free myself and be confident and brave in life. Thanks for your responses and I will check backs to see what your thoughts are as I am struggling and hoping you can help me. Thanks

What is your training and background? I am interested in all you are sharing it rings so many bells!! Thanks for sharing and being open to expressing your own experience and what helped you.

I would like to know more about your program online I need to get progress with the anxiety problem

How can I learn more about nlp to help me with this problem too

This is so far the best video on procrastination. And this is coming from a person who watches "how to stop procrastinating videos" to procrastinate.

Hey Howard, I was wondering if you could make a video outlining the physical symptoms that could possibly be caused by "air hunger". Of course, those of us who experience this know we "feel" anxious. For example, I have for a long time been experiencing tightness in the neck, slight dizziness, a general feeling of head pressure/tension, tinnitus, and probably more. It would be reassuring to know these symptoms can be associated with chronic hyperventilation / air hunger. The uncertainty of these symptoms keeps anxiety high thus keeping the anxiety cycle going. Cheers!

Very informative stream! Just one thing u said worried me a bit, about air hunger possibly coming back for some people when they're going through stress. I've just started making progress with it and would hate to have to go through all that again. Surely it's not guaranteed it'll come back, and over time I can get it to go for good right?
