I have been reading alot of post's on NMP about dizziness, when i first started with anxiety i was given the following, maybe it will help you as much as it did me. Good luck xx
Problems from incorrect breathing
Breathing is something we all take for granted – we do it all the time! However, breathing incorrectly can cause too little carbon dioxide in the blood which:
Increases adrenaline release, which can cause
shortness of breath
frequent yawning and sighing
chest tightness and chest pain
disturbed sleeping patterns
sore muscles from using the wrong muscles to breathe
stomach problems
anxiety.
Causes arteries to constrict, decreasing the blood flow to your brain. This will not cause damage, but may cause
dizziness
detached sensation
pins and needles in your hands, mouth and feet
loss of memory.
Causes muscles to overwork, resulting in
headaches
neck, shoulder low back pain.
Breathe easy! Try these steps
sit or lie comfortably place your hand on your stomach, over your belly button.
take a small breath in through your nose, and feel your tummy swell
breathe out gently, feel your tummy flatten
Learn to relax, let your shoulders drop, and breathe in a rhythmical pattern of 10-14 breaths per minute. It is important to breathe through your nose as this warms, filters and moistens the air, as well as helping regulate your breathing.
Love & Light to you all
