@@nem8685 great question yes I was having air hunger during all waking hours not when I was sleeping and I also had a companied panic attacks frequently over a six month period of time it wasn’t until I really leaned into wellness and eventually retraining, my breath that everything rebalanced, but this process took me about a year because I was doing it mostly by myself. I was trying so many different things to get to a really focused path that really just incorporate wellness and breathing sometimes it was two steps forward and one step back, but I’m happy to say that I have been air, hunger and panic attack. Free for several years now. Yay! what a journey lots of growth lots of healing. I definitely feel like it’s so helpful to have a partner who’s gone through it and someone like me who helps others get through it. I like to say that I am the coach now to my clients that I need it then when I was suffering from air hunger. If you wanna connect, grab a discovery call we can chat. Have you read my latest blog post a lot of my clients are finding it really helpful. Could be a good place to get more information. Check it out. www.breathewellcoaching.com/post/understanding-air-hunger-and-disordered-breathing-impacts-on-health-and-mental-well-being Glad you’re here, from my experience it’s first really frightening and frustrating but once you get to the educational and seeking stage, you’re already in the growth process of healing. Air hunger is a clue to our body that something is out of balance. You have so much power within your own well-being and breath to rebalance your mind and body ! I hope this was a helpful reply Breathe Well Coach E

Not a stupid question...Smoking cigarettes and using marijuana can both contribute to air hunger and disordered breathing. For cigarettes: The chemicals in smoke irritate the airways and reduce lung function, leading to inflammation and breathlessness. Smokers often breathe faster to compensate, which can lower carbon dioxide levels and worsen feelings of suffocation. For marijuana: While it may initially expand airways, it can also irritate them, causing inflammation and mucus buildup. The psychoactive effects can trigger anxiety, leading to hyperventilation and further air hunger. Implications: Both substances can increase anxiety, limit physical activity, and raise healthcare costs due to respiratory issues.

@@breathewellcoaching I appreciate ur response...I know u get a lot of comments and I'm not ur problem...I've smoked for over a decade...I'm 37, female...this past February..Feb 1-9 I quit. Then saw a neighbor smoking and I was stressed so I picked it up. End of February suddenly I felt I couldn't get a full inhale...and since then, every single day I have these symptoms: a constant pressure/ squeezing in my nose, nasopharynx and throat , never feeling like I can get a full breath and feeling like my tongue is too big /jaw feels out of wack. I went to the doctor for the first time in over a decade (I've been holistic despite my smoking habit) and they said nothing was wrong with me...bcuz I've smoked for so long and never had these issues, it's been difficult for me to attribute it to that. .but from ur opinion, as I don't trust docs AT ALL, could my symptoms simply be from smoking? Yes I know I need to quit...these symptoms have made my anxiety 1000x worse

@@hannahmiller2056 great question! Personally, I’m not a fan of diets rather I help clients make better lifestyle choices when it comes to their nutrition. For anxiety, this is a list of things that can be helpful and are proven scientifically. First reduce caffeine intake and reduce or completely eliminate alcohol as well as any illicit drug. Next, increase hydration and if you’re active, consider adding an electrolyte mix. Next, limit processed foods and added sugars. Finally, look to increase these things: -Omega-3 fatty acids: Found in fatty fish (salmon, mackerel) to support brain health. -Magnesium: Leafy greens, nuts, and whole grains help relax the nervous system. -Complex carbs: Whole grains, oats, and quinoa stabilize blood sugar and mood. -Probiotics: Fermented foods (yogurt, kefir, kimchi) improve gut-brain health. -Antioxidants: Berries, dark chocolate, nuts fight oxidative stress. -Herbal teas: Chamomile and green tea reduce stress. -B Vitamins: Eggs, poultry, beans support neurotransmitter function. In my opinion, this is a more holistic approach to a balanced nutrition. It’s also more sustainable for long-term adherence. if you need more guidance, let’s connect on a discovery call.

Thanks for stopping by, keep checking in with those good breathing biomechanics, it signals balance to the nervous system 👏🏼❤️

It took me over 6 months to learn this on my own without any help. Usually, I can help clients restore balance within 60 days, which is about 8 sessions or 2 months. However, it does take time to readjust once you learn to breathe more optimally.

@@nataliatozour6964 hello, I apologize our schedules don’t match up. Unfortunately, I am unable to meet in the afternoon/evenings or weekends because I have small children to care for. Perhaps we can connect more privately via email messages. At very least I can provide you with some great resources. Feel free to email me about what you’re experiencing (air hunger, hyperventilation when it started and how you experience it) and I’ll get back to you with support-there is a lot we can still do virtually without the full live call and I’d be happy to help ❤️❤️erin@breathewellcoaching.com

Yes, I have seen it accompanied with G.I. symptoms and it has to do with an imbalance of acidity/PH so it makes sense. Shoot me an email and I will send you an article I put together on airhunger, which is really helpful. My email is Erin@breathewellcoaching.com. Just ask for the “understanding air hunger” article and I’ll send it to you.

no me too

I’m sorry you’re experiencing air hunger it’s so frustrating. SO all-consuming…I have a lot of valuable information I can share. Feel free to jump on a 30 minute discovery call with me, we can chat more. Here’s the link, it’s also on my about section on my channel.

I guess it could, especially if it's too tight and constricting to your rib cage mobility.

Glad it helped!

I hear you completely-there is a lot to worry about, that’s why I practice mindful movement bc it’s just a lot and for me it helps

@@AyushiSharma-w1d yes, you’re welcome! Just a little awareness of the gripping habit and some gentle modifications can go a long way! ❤️👏🏼

@@VinsmokeMihawk thank you, I really appreciate your feedback…I know how awful back-pain can be.

I think this has also caused me to get anxiety at times, like sometimes I feel my heart beating really fast

@@Lyxxl123 yes you described it just as I felt it and the way many of my clients do. Usually with the clients I work with this type of breathing pattern disorder is connected to anxiety so we use both wellness coaching and breath retraining to turn down the volume on your anxiety while helping you adopt a more balanced natural (non manual) breathing pattern. This is a holistic approach to managing both anxiety and breathing pattern disorders. However, there are some clients who don’t experience this air hunger symptom with anxiety and for those it’s very important to get a thorough evaluation from a doctor because there can be many reasons why someone might have air hunger. With all that says I’m really sorry you’re going through this if you have more questions or want to connect feel free to book a discovery call: calendly.com/breathewellcoaching/coaching-discovery-call

@@breathewellcoaching Thank you, I'll schedule one for the 28th 🙂

This is awesome!!

Good for you for listening to your body and starting to make some positive adjustments to your daily breathing habits. A little bit of breath re-training can go a long way in learning to nose breathe and using the respiratory diaphragm as your primary breathing muscle. Making these upgrades to your breathing helps all your internal systems, including digestion, cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular, immune system, brain functioning, and helps to enhance or stabilize your general mood.

Thank you so much and for the kind comment! Breathe Well -Coach E

Great question! Activating Lower Abdominals: To activate the lower abdominals effectively, focus on exercises like pelvic tilts, reverse leg raises, bird dogs, dead bugs, bridges, bear crawl holds, and side planks are helpful to start connecting to the deeper core muscles. Pilates is often a great form of exercise to help build the transverse abdominis (TAs), which stabilizes the spine and pelvis. 360-Degree Breathing and Lower Abdominals: While 360-degree breathing primarily expands the rib cage and engages the diaphragm, it indirectly activates the lower abdominals by promoting core stability during breathing exercises. This is because the inhale creates intraabdominal pressure IAP and the exhale helps to strengthen the pelvic floor lower abs. Uneven Rib Cage Expansion: If you notice uneven expansion of your rib cage, practice diaphragmatic breathing to encourage balanced rib cage expansion. Incorporate stretches and exercises targeting the intercostal muscles. You may need a little guidance with this, so I am available if you need private coaching. These approaches can help improve lower abdominal activation and promote balanced breathing mechanics for overall core stability.

You are so welcome. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. It sounds like you have been adopting a more optimal balanced breathing pace and pattern. Engaging in mindful relaxed breathing meditations using proper breathing mechanics makes a huge difference. I was breathing pretty awful when I was in the depths of panic attacks and major air hunger, I was holding my breath, taking big deep breaths, yawning and sighing…just very dysregulated. It was so consuming and the uncertainty of how to breathe well made me even more fearful (and alone). I remember going to several doctor's and practitioners trying to find answers but I couldn't get the help and support I needed. That's why I love educating, supporting, and coaching people in their journey. I'm to others the coach I so badly needed when I had delibitating breathing pattern disorder and anxiety. Keep anchoring to that hope, there was once a time you didn't have this disordered breathing symptom of air hunger and there will be a time you will be liberated through learning to breathe optimally and making any nessary lifestyles changes that support your well-being.

Thank you for your comment. It has been a couple of years since I vulnerably shot this video, and I have learned a great deal since then through my own experiences and those of others with breathing pattern disorders. Regarding labor, I am now more unapologetically open about my experience. With time and healing, I see things more clearly. At the time and shortly after, I honestly had no idea what was happening to me. No doctors indicated that one could suffer from PTSD during or after childbirth. I also believe my experience was connected to sexual trauma I experienced as a teenager. I couldn't agree more with you that our culture downplays the challenges of labor. Even with my air hunger and panic attacks, it seemed like the doctors had no idea what I was going through. I truly empathize with anyone suffering from anxiety-related dysregulated breathing. Thank you again for your kind comment and insights. I think these types of videos help people suffering know they are not alone and that there can be healing as I no longer suffer from hyperventilation syndrome and air hunger. Sending you sweet vibes 🙏🏼😎❤️

I couldn’t agree with this more and yes, Patrick Mckeown is excellent. It really is counterintuitive, I agree and wow, it takes a long time to connect all the dots. I took several breathing certifications and watched countless videos myself. It sounds like you had a similar healing experience to me. Thanks for sharing and the kind encouragement.

The safest route is to always contact your doctor or an urgent care center. I believe it’s very important to rule out any breathing related emergencies. After you understand what might be causing it, and if it’s anxiety related, then you can look at next steps. Some Doctors might be great at this too. That wasn’t exactly my experience, but there are more and more doctors aware of Breathing Patterns Disorders. Sending you positive thoughts and you move through this challenge.

Oh I’m so sorry you only have one lung that much affect you daily. The lung capacity and life span research was found through the framingham study. Good this about lung capacity is that it’s not set-you can build it up and increase it, even with only one lung. If you ever need some help with that aspect, please reach out. calendly.com/breathewellcoaching/coaching-discovery-call

Great question! Using a belt or band as a tool is a good idea. I’m definitely in favor of it. It can help you get a “feel” for creating equal even pressure during inhalation, which helps generate intra-abdominal pressure. This pressure stabilizes the spine and core, allowing you to manage pressure safely and effectively. Such a tool can provide valuable biofeedback, helping you develop better breathing, less compensation patterns (like upper ab gripping) and overall respiratory efficiency. Love the idea!

@@breathewellcoaching thank you.

4 years, that must be miserable. It’s such a consuming experience and so hard to explain to ppl who haven’t had that urge. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re going through this. It might be hard to believe, but I know there is a way out. I’ve had amazing success myself overcoming panic attacks + air hunger and I’ve helped many clients do the same since 2020. Many of my clients had it worse than me too. I’d love to connect and share some insights, if you’re up to it feel free to book a complimentary session on my schedule: calendly.com/breathewellcoaching/coaching-discovery-call *Even if you don’t end up doing my 60-day private coaching program you will still get a lot of value from our meeting. It’s just nice to talk to someone who’s been through this and helped others do the same. 🫁❤️

Also, Buteyko sometimes doesn’t work because re-training the biomechanics of breathing is a missed first step. The biomechanics of breathing refer to how the respiratory muscles, particularly the diaphragm and intercostal muscles, coordinate to facilitate efficient ventilation. Once this natural pattern is established, we can work on the pace and incorporate different techniques, such as breath holds, retention, and humming. However, if the activation of the respiratory diaphragm is skipped and the fundamental aspects of how you breathe are not addressed, some breathing exercises can exacerbate air hunger. In essence, diving into advanced techniques too soon can overwhelm the system. It's crucial to slow down, return to the basics, and master the fundamentals of optimal breathing mechanics. This approach helps unlearn sub-optimal habits and build a strong foundation for more advanced practices. Proper diaphragmatic activation is essential, as it ensures efficient gas exchange and reduces the risk of developing chronic hyperventilation or dysfunctional breathing patterns.

Any success in getting rid of it? I have the same and have had it constantly for a year now. Started like 7 years ago but at that time only for a week, then it was good for like a year and then it was like a week again but it has getting worse and worse and now it feels like 24/7. Feels quite ok when i wake up in the morning but once a go up from bed it starts....

Hello, thanks for being here and for this kind comment! It’s really appreciated ❤️🫁🫶🏼
