Deep Breathing
It might seem obvious for those suffering from anxiety, but deep breathing is more of a lifestyle choice than anything else. It can be extremely challenging to add deep breathing as a part of a routine, especially for those who suffer from anxiety. Some disorders get so bad that the opposite occurs, known as hyperventilation. You’d be surprised how much deep breathing matters, even when you’re not suffering anxiety symptoms. It’s a good idea to develop a routine involving deep breathing and focusing on deep breaths even when nothing is happening.
Shallow and quick breathing contributes to a faster heart rate, lightheadedness, dizziness, and more. It is even associated with heart attacks. So it’s understandable not to be aware of how you breathe most of the time, but it’s a good idea for anxiety sufferers to relax and practice deep breathing as much as possible. Breathing from the stomach rather than the chest will also benefit the human body.
Deep breathing exercises are easy to manage, and if you can consistently add them to your daily routine, you can significantly reduce the odds of a panic attack.
