I’m sure you are not telling us the whole of that instruction! They almost certainly mean that old, old practice of getting into a rhythm of breathing that goes “breathe in for a count of x, hold for a count of y, breathe out for a count of z, hold for a count of y” and is supposed to be very good for you.

The doctor wants me to breathe in hold for 15 seconds and breathe out slowly several times a minute
I am just about gasping for air after a maximum of three seconds of breath holding

I do know what you mean Twellsy, some years ago I had a hospital stay that required a several pints of blood transfusion after a routine op that turned out to be not so routine, then they kept coming to stab me to take some blood and I’m thinking, ‘hang on a mo…I thought I didn’t have enough as it is’.
I wasn’t going to argue with that nurse though, she had a glint in her eye that looked like she’d eat patients like me for breakfast if I didn’t behave

Start by doing what you can, Twellsy
Every second that you can add, helps, as I’m sure that you know . It’s the control of the breathing which is important,& is lost during an asthma attack .
Apparently, we all breathe too ‘shallowly’, which isn’t good fer us lungs

I would just like it to be known that I have been banned from liking any more posts for 8 hours. This does does not mean that I do not like your posts.

You have the “out of love” badge five times over, and that is “used 50 likes in a day”, you see. (It is called “Higher love” at that level.)
