I've had panic attacks for a decade. Hundreds, multiple times each day. No clear medical reasons could be found. Then I stumbled upon a book about the Buteyko breathing method at a book sale. To make a very long story short: found out that I was chronically hyperventilating. Retrained my breathing patterns and nowadays I'm panic attack free. Anxiety still creeps up from time to time (work/life stress etc.), but if I could give one bit of advice for now: keep breathing through your nose. Ideally 24/7, but if certainly if you feel panicky/anxious. Could be that you're already mouth-breathing, which causes your body to (relatively speaking) lose too much CO2. This causes a lot of the weird physical effects that occur during an anxiety/panic attack. CO2 helps to keep muscles and nerves relaxed. It helps to keep blood flow and oxygen transportation to cells optimal. Back in high school, I learned that CO2 was nothing but a "waste product" of breathing. That's wrong. It's vital to have the correct balance. Without CO2, due to the Bohr-effect, the blood cannot even release oxygen into the cells. As a matter of the fact, the impuls to breathe is not triggered by a detected lack of oxygen in the body, but by the level of CO2 that that body detects. This trigger is not "set" at a specific value at birth. If you have prolonged periods of stress, you'll be chronically breathing faster, causing a relatively speaking lower amount of CO2 in the body. Your breathing center can, over time, start to see this "stress breathing" as the new "default mode". Even when the original stressor(s) are gone, you'll be breathing at this different rate, which might make you very prone to anxiety/panic attacks. When I stumbled on the book, I was breathing at about 25 times per minute. At rest. But I didn't notice it, because for me it was the "normal mode" of breathing even though I was breathing like I was running a marathon or something. But you cannot breathe like that 24/7 and be and feel happy. So I started retraining my breathing (under guidance of a Buteyko expert/trainer - you can find them all over the world). Now I'm nose breathing 24/7 again at a much healthier pace. I no longer have: panic attacks, 4 migraine attacks/week (about 2/year now), pounding and/or skipping heart beat, heart beat at rest dropped from 90 BPM to 58-63 BPM, my hands and feet are no longer cold, no more dizzy spells, feeling that I'm no longer getting enough air, even my hay fever has disappeared (immune system is not overactive anymore and breathing slower means of course far less pollen being inhaled in the first place), no longer a stuffed nose, clearer eye sight, no longer a tingling feeling in hands and/or nose. Just search RUclips and or Google for more information. One of the most comprehensive websites that I've found (no affiliation) concatenates the words "normal" and "breathing" together with one of the most COMmon international domain extensions. This should be required information in high school. The amount of suffering that can be prevented is of the charts! So remember: nose-breathing is the safety net that you've always got, everywhere you go. You can still feel quite anxious, but it prevents you from spiralling out of control into pure panic. Nose-breathing == control and safety.
We're SO proud of you. Working through panic, hyperventilation, and anxiety is no small feat, and we couldn't be happier that you've found a breathing technique that works so well for you. We appreciate you taking the time to share with us and our community - sending you love and peace as you continue to move forward. 💖
@@itsjeninMass You might find it interesting to hear that , in the Buteyko approach/theory, asthma is caused by over-breathing/hyperventilation. CO2 helps to keep open all "hollow tubes" in the body, which includes the airways. CO2 is a natural bronchodilator. When your ventilation rate is too high for what you need, the CO2 level in your body drops. Every body reacts differently. In some people this causes anxiety and panic, in others hypertension and for many also asthma/bronchitis. In the case of a narrowing of the airways, you could roughly say that the body is in essence trying to protect itself. The CO2 level is dropping too far. So what do you do? It's far from pleasant to experience, but narrow the tubes basically. During nose breathing, this is done automatically at a smaller scale. Certain tissues can swell and take up extra space (stuffed nose!) or feel calm and relax. It's almost like a natural equivalent the carburator of a car, which tries to provide the ideal fuel mixture to the engine or the intakes on a jet trying to guide the airflow for efficiency. So panic attacks and asthma can have the same root cause. Google "NIH PMC9308119 Hassan"
Thank you so much@@TeamForleo ! Combined with the steps in this video, it becomes a powerful anti-panic package! I'd like to add to the exercise bit: as long as you do it with your mouth closed. Wether walking, cycling, etc. the pace is not important, but keeping your mouth closed while doing it is. Adjust intensity of exertion levels to whatever is comfortable while you are still breathing through your nose. The additional movement will increase CO2 levels and your nose will regulate the airways (and filter/pre-heat the air) all at the same time. Bonus: the sinus cavity is producing nitric oxide with potential immune-protective effects.
This was awesome. Could you do longer video on meditation and your experiences with it? I had a great period of my life where I meditated a lot everyday and after that I reached an impass where I started judge myself that I'm not doing it right and I can't get into the 'no mind state'. I practiced the TM meditation. I never found guided one that I would like, but I found one ASMR-tist I love, but for some reason I find watching them effective only before sleep. So I'm still have this impass during the daytime when I need meditation and I can't get into it.
I love everything here, it's all evidence based! Thank you! I've struggled for anxiety for 20 + years, and I have learnt to LOVE the feelings because they are there for a reason, rather than they are negative get them out or stop them. Have you used your feminine energy to feel it and love it and learn why it's there? There is a reason why we feel anxious and we need to meet that need :) Much love, xox
Thank you Marie!!!! Anxiety is my biggest enemy!!Xanas, Clonopin, Zoloff . Each is 1 milligram each. It’s in my family genes. Weight Lifting 🏋️ helps the most !! This is a great share. What the mind harbors the body expresses.
We appreciate this share so very much, Andrew. Sending you so much love and support as you continue to move forward on your healthy journey. So proud of you! 🏋
Perfect video at the perfect time. Thank you so much! We are in the process of purchasing an apartment right now and I have been anxious! Another thing I love are tapping and journaling sessions. I'll start tapping to lower my anxiety and then journal my insights.
We're so honored to hear it, Emily! Let us know how it goes - we're always here to share resources or support you in any way we can. Sending the best of luck with your apartment and new journey forward. 🏠🪴
@@TeamForleo Thaaaaank you!!!! I'm re-taking the Offerings Module on B-School right now because the emotions were making my ADD run wild. So focusing on B-School allows me to re-direct my focus on what I can control. 🥰🥰🥰
