You know something is wrong.
Your doc says they can’t find an organic cause for your symptoms.
What if it’s not organic?
What if it’s a behavioural health condition?
HYPOCAPNIA also known as overbreathing causes the following Symptoms and Deficits. If you are experiencing ANY of these you may have a dysfunctional breath pattern contributing to the issues you are facing.
The good news is that it's easy to change once the habit is identified!
This list is stunning. Your breath habits can create, but when corrected, can also eliminate the following:
● Respiratory: shortness of breath, airway resistance, bronchial constriction, asthma symptoms
● Peripheral: tingling, numbness, trembling, twitching, shivering, coldness, sweatiness
● Cardiovascular: palpitations, tachycardia, arrhythmias, angina symptoms. ECG abnormalities
● Emotional: anxiety, anger, fear, panic, phobia, apprehension, worry, crying, low mood
● Autonomic-stress: acute fatigue, chronic fatigue, headache, muscle pain, weakness
● Sensory: blurred vision, sound seems distant, reduced pain threshold, dishabituation, dry mouth
● Consciousness: dissociation, state change, dizziness, fainting, confusion, hallucinations
● Cognitive: attention deficit, learning deficits, poor memory, brain fog, inability to think
● Muscles: tetany, hyperreflexia, spasm, weakness, fatigue, pain, difficult to swallow, chest discomfort
● Smooth muscles: cerebral, coronary, bronchial, gut, and placental vasoconstriction
● Abdominal: nausea, vomiting, cramping, bloatedness
● Movement: diminished coordination, reaction time, balance, perceptual judgement
