Rapid Breathing

This rapid breathing is a bit distracting - a bit tiring too. I was hoping that it was one of those symptoms which only showed up and wiped its feel and then took off - but its lingering a bit. Well - if it shows any sign of getting up to leave I am ready to slam the door behind it!

Excellent! It’s calmed down a bit now! Happy Friday everyone!

Hi, I’m glad it’s calmed down a bit. I had a period when I was additionally ill with other things that resulted in my heart rate speeding to a frightening rate up every time my PD drugs began to wear off. I used meditative Om chanting to stop this happening - part of chanting is breathing deep, slow and even, it relaxes your nervous system but also, because you are controlling how you breathe, it prevents your heart speeding up. I did this during every ā€˜off’ for a couple of days and the rapid heart beat stopped happening, and it hasn’t come back, which was even better than ever. Chanting is also good for reducing inflammation; managing anxiety; regulating thyroid; also very good for energizing your brain, amongst other things. Personally I feel it’s made a significant difference to how I manage PD as well as other conditions.
Just wondered if this might be of interest to you.

Hello Anna72. Yes that was interesting thanks. I usually practice ā€œThe Buteyko Methodā€ to control my breathing

Hello Appletree. Thanks for that - I’d read that page but thanks all the same
