Hi this is so brilliant! Thanks so much. What breathing technique would recommend to lower the resting heart rate for someone with stress/anxiety and pre hypertensive

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Slower, deeper breathing focusing on a longer exhale would be best to balance the Autonomic Nervous System and reduce sympathetic nervous system activity.

I am 63, 64 in November. I have COPD from my 40 years of smoking. I am trying to find exercises on my Nintendo ring fit that i can use to help improve my lung transfer of o2 to blood. I am looking at the game because walking and having to sit on curb to catch my breath leads to people being nice and asking if i need an ambulance.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Great, try this exercise routine as well to see if it helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4KkoWOnqM-fhcU

Since earlier today i suddenly started to have severe anxiety attacks at home and outside at the thought of returning to where i live only to hear I have COPD from a pharmasist later through today although reading up on my condition i am now terrified but need help managing my anxiety as it seems very extreme.

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Breathing will help as will exercise. Check out my video on COPD here that might also help you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHPLfmCIZbmkoNU

Dr Axe I had an adrenalectomy 9 years ago and have found that I don’t deal well with stress at all and recently I went from mild hypothyroidism to severe hypothyroidism after a stressful job change. Will this help?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

It can't do any harm so try it and see if it helps you.

Hi, Do you have any respiratory strengthening exercises for high-level quadriplegics? THANKS

[@ExerciseForHealth]

Not specifically, and it's not something I've come across before myself, so wouldn't want to advise. Can you get input from/ access to a physio who can advise you something specific?

[@jpp1470]

Is this helpful in hypertension?

[@ExerciseForHealth]

It might help reduce anxiety and stress which can cause blood pressure to rise, so it might help yes.
