Re: Re: Fibromyalgia and Breathing...?

yes I had that problem and I had to have a sleep study done because I wasn't

breathing. in the night I was stopping breathing 22 times an hour.

and now I have a cpap machine to keep me breathing..

not breathing causes lack of oxygen to your brain as well.

hope that helps.

Very much so.

Try using 4-Way Nasal Spray for fast, short-term help.

Annie,

I was doing some reading on different ways to reduce acidity and was

surprised to find a reference to breathing and acidity. One guy claimed

that deep breathing reduced acidity better than most of the expensive

methods like special water systems, etc. Respiration is a

waste-expelling function of the body.

I have chronic Lyme Disease -- seeing a specialist next week -- but also

notice the depression in breathing and movement. Our bodies just don't

want to move, and consequently, the need for deeper breathing seems

reduced. I now make it a point to do deep breathing for a few minutes

every day as well as exercising -- it will naturally increase the deeper

breathing.

I have also been using two Christian yoga DVD's to increase flow in my

body as well as stretching and strengthening. All of these things are

useful for those with fibromyalgia, whose symptoms are nearly identical

to Lyme.

Thanks,

Michele in CT

I often catch myself during waking hours not breathing enough... so I take a few

deep breaths to catch up, not sure about through the night but now I'm starting

to wonder!

Yes, often diagnosed for one another.

On treatment for FMS we breath bigger and deeper. It's part of how this

works.

The truth is setting us free.

C-Pap is good if you have some particular problems.

We need to correct an entire system, so that not only breathing is good,

everything is good.

Annie,  do you think that there is a connection between starving the muscles

and the rest of the body of oxygen from not breathing properly.. and the pain?

 

I mean, when I catch myself not breathing, presumably my muscles are not being

fed the oxygen they need,.... could that lead to the pain do you think?

The pain in FMS comes from the cells not being fed, rinsed and lubricated.

The " not breathing " is not something I understand. I was the same way, got to

where I breathed

shallow as a little mouse.

Have read some about it; is about how the chems are exchanged - way over my

head.

You can read online or talk with a physiologist.

The breathing problems we know about are that all clear fluid is too thick.

Hard to

get air though.

Next time you feel short of breath, try this and you will feel it. Close your

lips almost

all the way and restrict your out breath. This will create more air pressure on

your lungs.

After a minute or so, you won't feel so out of breath. It's forcing the air to

pass through

the lungs.

Of course, on FMS treatment that works, you won't be out of breath anyway.
