Can you explain what you've been told and what it says to help your breathing?
Well I can go upstairs and lie on my bed, and play a tape and it's, a woman tells you. You start from your toes, you just lie there and just relax, relax and she starts from your toes and she works up through your feet, through your heels, up your legs, into the body, your arm and then it went up there, but I can never stay awake because it knocks me out. And I can be there for two hours and I wake up and I feel great.
This is relaxation exercises?
Relaxation exercises.
And are there any other breathing exercises you've been doing?
Yeah just normal breathing you know, hold it, and that type of thing. Climbing the stair, it's climb two stairs, stop, let your air out, climb another two stairs, let your air out and then eventually you can say well do three stairs, climb three stairs, let your air out, that type of thing. If you go shopping, balancing your stuff and if you feel a bit breathless, just lean up against the wall if you can, and just lean and just relax you know. People might think you're drunk but you're not, or you can suck a sweet.
Does that help?
Oh yes. Sit on the wall, have an ice cream, sit on the wall and have an ice cream, anything like that. And different types of things you can do to yourself but basically just looking after yourself and watch what you do when you're out. |
