Triggers

There are many triggers that can affect your breathing.  The following list outlines common triggers for breathing pattern disorders:

  •         Anaemia 
  •         Anxiety or low-grade chronic depression 
  •         Asthma, COPD, chest problems 
  •         Chronic pain – physical or emotional 
  •         Grief and loss 
  •         Hormone upsets (PMS, pregnancy or menopause) 
  •         Insomnia or broken sleep 
  •         Mouth-breathing/nasal & sinus problems 
  •         Poor posture or bad ergonomics at your desk 
  •         Post-operative or injury problems 
  •         Tight clothes 
  •         The terrible twins – stress and fatigue 
  •         Post viral exhaustion 
  •         Work hassles, or redundancy

If an altered breathing pattern is prolonged, it can become the “default pattern” and normal breathing patterns are lost.  This can lead to a long list of symptoms including shortness of breath, dizziness and neck pain.
