2 breathing techniques that reduce anxiety in real time (doctor demo)

[@moonstrukk126]

The best advice I ever got about anxiety and panic attacks was this; For whatever reason your adrenaline starts pumping. Your cortisol is released. Norepinephrine and epinephrine are flooding your body. You don't know why. You just suddenly feel like your soul is exiting your body. You can't control your breathing. You can't control your heart rate and you feel like you're going to die. Get up. Go run cold water or rub some ice on your wrists and look at the ceiling. Use the fuel. Walk around, if you can go outside and walk briskly do so. Exercise is a great use of those hormones already circulating. Do some squats a Sprint. Something physical. Dance. Stop thinking about your panic as panic. Stop thinking about your anxiety as anxiety. Stop thinking about how to control it or stop it. Take the energy your body is giving you and use it for something. Get out of your head. Get into your physical body. Get into the world. Go touch the grass, do some push-ups. Do some sit-ups do some jump rope. Sitting with anxiety raging through your body and trying to control your breath is an exercise in futility for severe panic and most people who have tried this technique and failed need to use that energy baby! Appreciate it. You can thank your body for providing the energy and use it. If you're driving pull over and put on the a/c get a cup of ice from a drive thru park and walk around the parking lot. You don't have to suffer and the worry about when the next panic attack won't cripple you because you have a very solid, scientifically sound alternative to trying to calm down. Your body will naturally do that. Trust me it's a GAME CHANGER. I highly recommend some of the channels that go into childhood trauma. You don't have to be abused to have suffered from childhood trauma. It's really just a matter of when critical things happen and for whatever reason an appropriate adult wasn't around to help guide us. Our little child brain gets f***** up and it carries over into adulthood. Anxiety equals energy. Use it and then figure out why it is your brain and nervous system are producing so much excess energy when you don't really need it. But FIRST be grateful that your body and nervous system are trying to protect you and start looking into what might be the bigger underlying cause. Breath work is great and for some people it may work , but for me nothing is as effective or as proactive as moving the energy and using the fuel. I love you all. Be strong. Be brave and be kind to yourself

These are the breathing rhythm used in spiritual practice and mediations. I’m glad to see a change in medical scene beginning to expose this to patients instead of feeding them pills.

[@LoveMoneySecretsTV]

It sure is! I teach my patients and clients to do breath work as well. I like to do 25 as slow as I can long deep breaths every morning and before I go to sleep as I meditate and also to alkhalize my body. I teach this in my meditation secrets series I did during the pandemic on my channel.

[@hulahandskc]

I used your breathing technique to stay calm while going through cataract surgery last week with no medications whatsoever! Huge win!

[@arabella4032]

By the by, was ur cataract surgery successful? What lenses did u get? Just curious

[@slc1161]

As a retired RN with fibromyalgia and episodic fast heart rate, I absolutely do therapeutic breathing when I get anxious from these episodes. I take no anti anxiety medication because those aren’t good as you age. I do 4x4 breathing a lot. Deep in for count of 4. Hold for 4 count. Exhale for 4. Hold for 4. I started with this because my heart rate is going too fast at first. Then when I get a slower rate, I move to 4-7-8 breathing. Works every time. I also use this breathing when I’m getting a massage. It facilitates release of myofascial pain and helps muscles to relax. And I use it to fall asleep. I have a lot of insomnia and nothing helped. Until I do measured deep breathing. Helps pain and sleep.

[@blumarapoport770]

I noticed that when i take a few moments to do deep breathing immediately before getting my blood pressure taken, the numbers are always aignificantly lower. Deep breathing is extremely powerful.

[@EmeraldView]

If I might add... When doing this, don't be overly obsessed with the count. Have a general idea of the length for each stage and just go with that and what feels comfortable. As I've tried these I would be hyper focused on the count and even if I was feeling uncomfortable I had to reach that count. This just caused me even MORE anxiety!

[@MedicalSecrets]

Agree, the body is not so sensitive to milliseconds as one might think!

[@EmeraldView]

@@MedicalSecrets For sure. We aren't computers. Not yet at least. Once I decided to just go with what felt comfortable, and not stress about how long each phase was, these breathing techniques worked a lot better for me.

[@jpStarBurst]

I use a variation of the 4-7-8 method you mentioned. I breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds and exhale for 8 seconds. I have CPTSD. The panic attacks are a doozy that precede the flashbacks. I call them Full Color Flashbacks because they come with sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. I began meditating to help deal with it and through my meditation discovered this breathing technique. It does work, even on a bad panic attack if you are willing to believe in the process. It's been a life saver for me. It's also very helpful when you're lying in bed wishing you could fall asleep. At night after about 5 minutes of using this technique I begin to yawn, after 10 minutes I begin relaxing into sleep.

[@Aurora86951]

Breathing is what stops an anxiety attack so i absolutely believe it. The one time i took one, pins and needles went up my back and arms and i lost all feeling in them and my hands. I thought i was taking a stroke. Rang ambulance and it arrived in 2 mins as we lived next to hospital. They came in and hooked me up just as the pins and needles started moving up my back. I knew it would paralyse and numb me and i was terrified. They said to me 'your vitals are perfect just your heart rate is a little high because you're scared but don't be, we're here and there's nothing wrong. If you breathe deeply you'll be ok' I trusted them and was so relieved because my vitals were all normal. So i breathed deeply and slowed it down. The pins and needles stopped moving upwards and eventually i was able to move my arms again. From that moment i realised that if i feel panicky i just need to breathe. I've had really bad anxiety since but never had a panic attack again. When you're in the throes of one, just remember it's not that you're ill or dying. Your body is just responding to your hyperventilating which makes you dizzy and you don't realise you're doing it. Breathe deep and slow and you'll be ok.

[@Wesenskern]

Oh God I can relate so much!!

[@jonprue]

Been there too 👍

[@davewoodward1155]

A classis panic attack.the technical description for panic in psychology is "a catastrophic misinterpretation of physical symptoms. The more you think you are having a stroke the more adrenalin gets produced and the more physical symptoms you get from the adrenalin. Usually passes after 20 to 30 mins as your body usually ca can't produce high levels of adrenalin for more than that amount of time.

You can even mix both, do 4-7-8 while you do the tapping.

I'm a conservatory trained wind instrument player and using the proper diaphram breathing always brings down anxiety. The most notable one for me was the time I was stuck in the OB-GYN's office elevator and the fire dept had to get me out. The only alarming thing about it was that the motor kept trying to open the stuck door, and I could smell it getting hot. I did breathe carefully though, and then went through my appt. My blood pressure was absolutely normal & the doctor was flat out surprised when I told her I had been the one stuck in the elevator.

[@mark-kf3md]

The monitor showed approximately 63 before you started each breathing technique and showed about 53 bpm toward the end of each technique. As soon as you stopped the technique the monitor returned to the rate from before you started; about 63. It would seem that a reduction in anxiety would result in increased calm and relaxation. If the parameter used to measure this is heart rate and the lowering of 10 bpm is the improvement that is great. However if the improvement lasts less than one minute you would need to continue the breathing technique to continue the experience of lower anxiety since when you stop then the improvement also stops. I would like to see other evidence/test parameters of the decrease in anxiety to see if there is any residual carry over beyond when the technique has ended.

[@williamtopping]

I learned breathing techniques whilst doing Yoga. After a lifetime of anxiety, including medication, this was easily hands down the most life changing thing I ever learned. Something as simple as taking longer to breath out than you do in... I ust it all the time, to stay relaxed. No matter the situation. I was having a wisdom tooth extraction the other day. And I HATE the dentist. I was with another woman in the waiting room, and we was talking about poor experiences with dentists as a child. The receptionist went in to warn the dentist. I got in the chair, breathed in for 5 seconds, held it, breathed out for 7. I did this 2 or 3 minutes, and it was over. So quickly. I was super chill the whole time, having a laugh with the dentist about how the worst part is the taste of the anthestic. (Apparently, they can't make flavoured ones, as it stops it working!!) I attempted to tell the other lady outside about breathing. I hope she did.

I'm always good with information that helps with my anxiety, and I don't need medication. Thank you 😊

I never used to believe in breathing exercises. Until my body instinctually did it when I talked myself out of panic attacks. I still prefer to talk myself out of it, instead of focusing in my breathing. The breathing part will take care of itself if you let it. Your diaphragm is one of the few organs that is voluntary and also involuntary. So you can make yourself breathe a certain way, or it will just do it. Let your diaphragm do its thing. 😊

I actually know this works, suffering from Raynaud’s, an extremely painful disease. When a flare up occurs, you have to be level headed or the extreme pain, will make you panic!!!!! So I needed something to help me to stay focused, when those unpredictable flare ups occur‼️ THIS WORKS!!!!!!

I had my first surgery ever this morning and I was EXTREMELY nervous leading up to it. But watching your videos to prepare for it helped a ton. My surgery staff was also extremely helpful to help ease my anxiety. I tell ya, that Versed in combination with the anesthesia, worked wonders to help me relax, and not remember anything after that until I woke up 😂

Thanks. I’ve started questioning everything, especially government health advice! After reading "Health and Beauty Mastery", I completely changed my approach. This book reveals so many shocking truths about the health industry!

I do breathe in to a slow count of 4, hold for count of 4, and exhale to count of 8. You are great doctor thanks.
