Shortness of breath can be an uncomfortable feeling as it does not allow the person to get air in their lungs. Here are some ways you can tackle breathlessness at home-
Pursed-lip breathing: this exercise will help release any air that is trapped in the lungs and help you slow your pace of breathing. All you have to do in inhale through your nose while keeping your mouth closed, purse your lips, and slowly exhale through your mouth; remember to inhale for two counts and exhale for four counts.
Sitting forward: sit on a chair, keep your feet flat on the floor, lean your chest forward too. Gently rest your elbows on your knees and hold your chin in your hands, while keeping your shoulder and neck relaxed. Keep breathing, at a slow pace.
If the breathlessness gets worse over time, it’s always a good idea to consult a medical professional as soon as possible.
