Two words: Buteyko method See e.g. http://www.normalbreathing.com http://www.normalbreathing.com CNS/Diseases of the Brain Are Caused by Low Brain O2/CO2 Levels http://www.normalbreathing.com/diseases-Brain.php http://www.normalbreathing.com/diseases-Brain.php Sedatives | CO2: Natural Sedative and Tranquilizer http://www.normalbreathing.com/CO2-stabilizer.php http://www.normalbreathing.com/CO2-stabilizer.php After 15 years of panic attacks, anxiety, migraines, hay fever... if finally found the solution: learn to breathe correctly again. The best and cheapest thing I've ever learned for my health! This is just one site, but there are many more on the web. Not affiliated to a single one of them, but hopefully I can share the joy of a panic attack free live with at least one other person. :)

I'm pleased that the technique worked for you and don't want to denigrate your experience, but looking around it seems that there's very little evidence to support the Buteyko technique, and a fair few red flags: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/buteyko-breathing-technique-nothing-to-hyperventilate-about/ https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/buteyko-breathing-technique... If it works for you it works for you, but I'd caution readers to be skeptical when trying it out.

  Thank you for your respectful reply. I agree that everyone should be skeptical and look for evidence. For me personally it has been a godsend, that's what I can state. I also know about 5 other people who have applied this knowledge and all had noticeable improvements in various areas. Experience may vary of course. Bodies are also different. You can go the Buteyko way, Chi-Gung, Yoga, Wim Hoff method etc etc. whatever works if you need it. Generally I do however think that breathing is way, way underappreciated as a cause for various diseases. I've seen 5 medical specialists who overlooked my breathing _patterns_. I've been hooked up to heart monitoring devices, gave plenty of blood to examine and all that jazz. The solution was literally right under my nose. In the end it was a $5 USD discounted book about Buteyko's research that made all the difference. Breathe through your nose, your mouth is for eating and talking. That will already help many people. :)
