dear NMP
further to my posts on overbreathing/ hyperventilation could you please consider the following book for your recommended list
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...223373-7791852
"Self-Help for Hyperventilation Syndrome: Recognizing and Correcting Your Breathing-Pattern Disorder" by Dinah Bradley at £6.54
I really think that this approach is key to so many anxiety sufferers - really a case of which came first - the anxiety or the breathing dysfunction
its a really practical self help approach that explains and treats so many weird symptoms or sufferes can get a referral to your nhs respiratory physio can help if their GP is willing - if not many areas have a phone or self referral physio service now and they could try asking for a respiratory physio for breathing dysfunction
I'll send a copy of the book if the NMP team want a look
thanks jos
