A friend of mine had pneumonia 30 years ago, and a physiotherapist told him to breathe with the abdomen as part of his treatment. I tried it for my asthma, and it worked pretty well. After a while, it came naturally and I mostly breathe this way all the time. Slowly, and from the belly :)
- justaguyhere 6y agoBabies breathe this way. Somewhere along the way to becoming an adult, we lose this ability without even realizing.

I was taught this as a way to control some very acute anxiety from hypochondria that took over my life for ~6 months before I could get treatment. Apparently it worked, since I haven’t suffered from that type of anxiety since.
