And breathe...

I've followed nearly all the advice on this forum (and the excellent 'justpassingthrough' on Facebook), and I must say I have seen massive improvement with my LPR/silent refux.

I still have a minor issue with 'air hunger'. I know many people have mentioned breathing retraining on this forum, but I have always overlooked it (because I associated it with anxiety, which I'm sure I didn't have).I have just read 'Signs and Symptoms of Hyperventilation' and it lists the following: difficulty in swallowing, globus, dry mouth and throat, acid regurgitation, heart burn, "Hiatus hernia", flatulence, belching, air swallowing, abdominal discomfort, bloating.

I'm going to have a good old trawl through this forum again to look for recommendations on breathing retraining. However, if you have any good tips, please feel free to reply to this message.

As a sideline, I gave up smoking nearly exactly a year ago. I do wonder if that has changed my breathing technique?

    Hi Suzeq,

    You mention "justpassingthrough" on the facebook, I can not get to it so, could I kindly ask you write me what you found helpful?

    It would be very nice as it may help me too, 

    Thanks,

      Search for 'refluxhelp' on Facebook and it should bring up the just passing through page.

      Let me know if that doesn't work and I'll send you a copy of the research notes on the page
