my father has been a real asshole who doesn’t care about me and doesnt do ANYTHING to comfort me while I’m crying, hyperventilating, or sobbing and guess what? The reasons I’m doing those things are because of him. This helped so much to stop hyperventilating, thank you!

[@N0N4M30]

Same but it’s my adoptive mother

[@candibell8051]

I focus on my breathing too much and can't stop manual breathing which leads me into hyperventilating panic attacks until i nearly pass out

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

We are sorry to hear your struggles. Try these exercises though and they will help you stop hyperventilating and stop your panic attacks when you feel them coming on.

[@stephenford6132]

i'm sorry you have to suffer this I struggle with this too

[@strangerontheinternet]

Bro I struggled with this too

[@louied420chavez2]

We got the bad share of the pie

[@nav689]

Did you have any type of nasal surgery?

[@dwlong9253]

I have loved studying this modality and it has already benefitted my practice with psychotherapy patients even as I reach the cusp of certification. Looking forward to part 2!

[@annabrooks6040]

Very interesting. This happened to me today at the gym, I started wheezing and gasping for air my trainer didn’t know what to do. I cupped my hands and brought my shirt over my mouth and nose and breathed and felt instantly better. I couldn’t understand what happened but I’m glad this video pretty much assured me I instinctively did the right thing

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

Great instincts @annabrooks6040, By pooling carbon dioxide you were able to increase its concentration in the air you were breathing, improving oxygen uptake in the blood, opening the blood vessels and ensuring a quick recovery. Also, by using your hands (instead of the old brown paper bag method) oxygen could still be breathed safely. Well done and thanks for the comment.

[@NOV123]

I had my panic attacks the most at the gym

[@mohammedsherryar3438]

I hold my nose too it,s just an instinct that comes to me x

[@jamlaw]

My nose is so congested. These were calming but then after doing them I yawned more and felt like I had to take a big breath. Definitely curious about this method and going to try more, though!

[@rosemurra8093]

Thank you so much ❤

[@raizokimonohard008]

This is my first time i encounter that hyperventilate overthinking,anxiety and insomia every night.

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

They can all be connected @raizokimonohard008. Dysfunctional breathing and insomnia are usually connected in some way, varying from person to person. We have seen how effective functional breathing can be to combat anxiety and the over active mind.

[@azeemhaider7062]

informative....but in generally deep breathing is suggested for anxiety, but breath light is different why it is so..

[@johnreyjandayan1876]

i have this kind of disorder too, now i cant leave go in another places alone cause everytime i do that i hyperventilate and my hands gets harder

[@DAQuigley2002]

When I am panicking, I notice that I am holding my breath, not breathing faster. Are their exercises to help prevent that reaction?

[@nancykunkler7403]

In other videos I have watched Patrick does mention shallow, suppressed breathing (which is what I suffer from too), so I think the answer is yes. These exercises have helped me tremendously!

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

Watch this video for panic attacks. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGq1mKONrrmao80

[@ruthhayon4860]

Thank you so much Patrick from your admirer from across the ocean. ❤ PS the third exercise is not here.

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

Hi Ruth, thank you for your lovely words. The third exercise will be posted on Wednesday! We have new videos every week.

[@ruthhayon4860]

I didn’t know you have a video every week. That is great. Again, thank you so much. ❤

[@pattip1413]

Will this work for COPD? I’m trying to help my person not panic breathing.

[@SereneDJ]

1. The swimmer 2. The Darth Vader 😂

[@milehigh3093]

Is it normal to feel numb or tighten stomach for hyperventilating please help me

[@louied420chavez2]

It totally is I get that every time

[@ayaskhan3221]

Can you write the first teachnique in coment box i want to learn it but i didn't understand the video

[@Evaselfmade]

Breath in Breath out Hold breath for as long as its comfortable for you (Repeat above as required then return to normal breathing )

[@acialolt]

the cupping hands technique, do you breathe through nose and out with your mouth or all of it for nose ?

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

All through the nose @acialolt. We need a small reserve of carbon dioxide (CO2) to help us calm down. If we breathe out through the mouth, we lose too much CO2. That's why we nose breathe and cup the mouth, to keep a higher concentration of the exhaled CO2. However, we also have gaps when we cup the mouth, so that oxygen can still get in. We want a higher concentration of carbon dioxide but not an excessive amount.

[@tjerkreijntjes]

What if you’re 24/7 nose breathing but unconsciously really deep. So in fact hyperventilating 24/7 trough your nose? Most instructions I run into are more focused on “attacks”

[@yresonirba87]

Sounds like a chronic anxiety issue. Have you figured out how to normalize it?

[@roseagain2]

Can you hold the breath out without pinching your nose? It makes me panic more. Thanks

[@allenparsens5279]

Yes you can.

[@sarayoung9116]

Yes you can. When I do breath hold exercises when walking my dog, I never hold my nose, to prevent strange looks 😊

[@AdrianAyunting]

Why i feel like i cant get enough when im trying to breathing exercises n

[@drawingofficial4021]

hyperventilation helps me think and concentrate and do well in exam but also makes my hands yellow and my whole body color changes from white to brown yellow

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

We recommend you consulting your doctor with this.

[@drawingofficial4021]

doctor told me don't breathe that way (hyperventilate) but i notice i become abnormal and my behavior become aggressive and people don't like my way with them ​if I don't hyperventilate@@ButeykoClinicInternational

[@lifeclip9878]

HELP!!! plz...ive just been started on blood pressure tablets and noticed the symptoms of hyperventilating. whats the best breathing exercise this feels absolutely horrid never experienced b4

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

When we're talking about a serious condition such as the heart or high blood pressure, we always say go slow. The breathe light exercise is the least demanding and yet very effective exercise for improving our breathing. Here are a couple of videos on breathe light. Benefits of light breathing short: kzbin.info60dM1pUPzrA A short with tips for light breathing: kzbin.info4SbGwLSosAk A longer version of the video on light breathing (and how it benefits sleep): kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6vTp52Gq8ZgjJo Light breathing is the safest way of training your breathing when you have health issues such as high blood pressure. It is a good way to learn how to deal with air hunger in a safe way. And especially in your case, take things slow.

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

And another long form video which should be helpful @lifeclip9878. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGq1mKONrrmao80&lc=Ugxy_Zto1XHx4IhIomR4AaABAg

[@crystalviva]

Parts 1 and 2 are the same???

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

Hi Mavis, both videos have different exercises.

[@z.aartwork1683]

Breath in from nose out from mouth or nose?😢

[@ButeykoClinicInternational]

Hi @z.aartwork1683 Breathe in through the nose and out through the nose.

[@z.aartwork1683]

[@annpianetta1536]

Patrick: This is not the original method.
