Breathing for Anxiety
by Diana Ross on 12/08/11
Anxiety Triggers
For
many depression sufferers, anxiety can be quite formidable.
Anticipation of having breast cancer, potentially having to do
chemotherapy or radiation treatments can trigger great anxiety. This
anxiety can then disrupt any normal physical or emotional functioning.
Besides when anxiety is great enough it can bring on fatigue,
sleeplessness, the jitters, irritability and painful headaches. Not
very good for recovery.
Remedy to Reduce Anxiety
Anxious
people tend to take short, shallow breaths which create an erratic
heartbeat, dizzyiness and even lightheadedness. Fear may play a hugh
role in these physical changes. It is not unusual to treat these
symptoms with medication. These medications run the possibility of
becoming addictive. Instead of taking something that could become a
problem, why not turn to your own breath as a possible solution to
anxiety. One simple remedy to reduce anxiety is to learn how to breathe
slowly and deeply. Slow inhales and exhales with your complete
attention can be quite amazing.
