7 Treatment Options for Dyspnea

Pursed Lip Breathing

One of the best ways to deal with dyspnea is to apply the pursed-lip breathing technique. It would improve the amount of air going into the lungs and release trapped air inside, thus making it simpler to breathe. Firstly, you need to breathe in through your nose slowly with your mouth closed. Make sure to relax your shoulders and neck. Next, press the lips like whistling to create a slow airflow. Slowly exhale through the pursed lips in a few seconds before starting with a new cycle. Keep doing this technique until you are in control of the breathing pattern. [6]
