#Breathing Exercises for Asthma

[luminarai]

Just found this app called breasy that I highly recommend to people with breathing issues related to anxiety, stress, asthma, vcd, chronic hyperventilation, and the like. Or if you just want to work on some breathing exercises for mindfulness or meditation.

It’s totally free and comes with 5 different breathing exercises with super short descriptions of what they can be used for.

It looks like this, but you can remove the stars if you want to

You can also add/remove vibrations and sounds for the exercises so that you get a soft chime or vibration when you need to exhale/hold/inhale (the chimes are pitched slightly different depending on the action so you can use it without looking as well, which I really like!). You can also set a timer for a session.

I’ve really struggled with asthma related breathing issues lately and this is pretty helpful for me when it comes to not over-inhaling or panicking when I’m waiting for my medication to kick in when I’m having an asthma attack, so I just wanted to pass a recommendation along in case it could help someone else too.

So today was my first day teaching an after school elective theater class (10+ 2nd 3rd 4th grade girls) and holy shit y'all I have even more respect for teachers now than ever before because that was BRUTAL lmao it was like they could smell my fear and knew they could trample all over me. Maybe my viewpoint is skewed, seeing as I was a really meek, easygoing kid at that age, but I can't fathom just...blatantly ignoring the teacher when they tell you not to do something. I get theater is a bit more loosey goosey but damn I can't imagine treating any of my past theater teachers (or any adult for that matter) with such disregard. Hoping that they were just crazy because it was their first day back at school after summer break and they'll mellow out a tiny bit by next week.

There were two super sweet and responsible 4th graders that I'm probably going to have to lean on to get through to some of their classmates. Like appoint them "team leaders" or whatever.

Either way, no more Ms. Pushover next Wednesday--Miss Helen is gonna lay down the fucking LAW lol I'm going to print out a set of class rules and expectations and have the kids repeat them back to me, and I may invest in a fucking whistle to cut through how loud they can get. If any of y'all have a background in teaching or otherwise dealing with large groups of children, feel free to drop any tips or suggestions you might have to get a handle on a rowdy crowd of munchkins and gremlins without yelling or being overly strict.

#I lose almost all patience as soon as I can tell a child is fucking with me lol #like if they're genuinely confused or anxious #I'm usually very patient #but man there were a couple kids who are the physical embodiment of the worst traits of adhd #speaking as someone who has it #but not the physical part #I've never been physically hyper or restless #it's just my brain going at 100 miles an hour all the time #but cant relate to the whole bouncing off the walls thing #also that school has an insane amount of floors and the theater is in the basement level 5 floors down from the entrance #and since the elevator was in use I had to lead those kids up the most insane amount of stairs I've ever encountered #truly humbled me because I was not prepared to drag my entire 200+ lb fat ass up five stories #first time my legs have ever felt so close to just giving out entirely #and now I have exercise induced asthma which will go away in a couple hours but OOF #I literally whistle like wind through a car window when I breath rn] #euthanize me #put me down like old yeller #personal

Saying that using disability language to describe your experiences is "dehumanizing yourself" and "making you look angry" is so fucking telling of your character.

#WHY DOES IT MATTER #whether i say “i can't run longer than 5 seconds because it makes me struggle to breathe” #or “i have exercise-induced asthma so i can't run” #i still deserve compassion and respect! #i am not pathologizing myself!!! #my breathing issues are PART of my life as a HUMAN

tropes that need to die a horrible death preferably now please: the only characters with asthma are fat and/or nerdy and the implication is that their asthma is caused by lack of excercise/disinterest in athleticism and that it's not in fact... the other way round

oh, and the asthma's only there for comic relief 🙃

#*through gritted teeth* osgood... #idk if its so common any more but jfc #ppl of all weights can have asthma and it's way more likely to stop u doing exercise and cannot be CAUSED by not doing it #sure regular exercise can help but at a level that's accessible to u!! #bc guess what feeling like u can't breath and are imminently gonna die SUCKS and is not funny!!!! #as for the nerd thing... just why #there are athletes with asthma #its really not attributable to one demographic #mine #ableism #sorry for the random rant just thinking about how deeply osgood pissed me off :') #A L S O the idea that if you just exercise enough and you won't be fat anymore is bullshit anyway #there are so many fat athletes and fat people who exercise #fat /= lAzY #even though not exercising does not equal lazy either

Breaking news: insufficient breathing does not make you feel great

More news: breathing medication makes you breath better

#New to this asthma diagnosis thing still #Having an explanation and a solution for like...40% of my suddenly-feel-like-crap-itis is great #I still can believe I had undiagnosed asthma for at least 15 years #Moderate persistent asthma #No less #So like #I really don't breath so good #But no I was just lazy with my 4-6 hours of exercise a week #And when my stamina declined it was because I was getting more out of shape (despite exercising more) #Like it's not the only thing wrong with me but #breathing is fucking important it turns out

man i forgot how bad my asthma can get. i worked out this morning, had an issue with my lungs, it's now 4:30pm and i am still wheezing and my chest still feels weird

#i have exercise-induced asthma but i havent like ran in long time so #i forgot how it feels! #fun fact ive always been overweight and everyone thought i had trouble breathing after running bc i was just overweight #this went on for my entire life until high school #the best PE teacher i ever had looked at me once after we ran laps #and asked me if i had asthma #i said what i didnt think so and he was like go see a doctor

every time i see “ohhh see this is how dems should govern... when repubs try to block popular policy....... ppl then protest and vote”

i want to start killing these brats

yes.... no one listened to disabled people having die-in protests at the capitol and senators offices every time our health care was threatened over the last twelve years, that’s what the main thing in obamacare is.........filling the insurance gap for people who aren’t disabled enough to qualify for ssdi/medicare, and are too gross and ill and expensive for insurance to cover (cause 12 pt sessions a month for three months straight isn’t profitable, why would anyone want to cover my injury prone ass without policy to make them)

young brats only have like a 12% population with preexisting conditions... when u get into older ages it gets to 50-60%......... it literally affected u the whole time u will eventually get sick, im sick of this fucking hubris from the “young and healthy” you will get sick, everyone gets sick, it doesn’t matter how much exercise you do, how healthy you eat, you will eventually have something happen

since the roe decision and now the student loan thing, i keep seeing more and more people waking up to how bad actual legislated oppression is vs. social oppression, and my guys, my dudes,,, i want to kill some of you....... the lack of empathy while people were trying to take my health care away, to take my equal rights away legally, the bOtH sIdEs crap, you fuckers were going to just let me die?????? 

people love to talk about ted cruz’s “green eggs and ham” but don’t seem to care (or even know) that that was to prevent me from getting health care when i became an adult and aged off my mom’s union plan. 

#i was supposed to see a geneticist as a child.... and didn't #i didn't see a geneticist cause of FUCKING HEALTH INSURANCE POLICY and the idea that with dcd as my primary diagnosis #i would have been able to get partial coverage pre-aca #so i didn't find out about the heart valve issues i have until 3 weeks ago #i thought it was fucking asthma causing my breathing issues while exercising... not my fucking heart valves???????? #republican obstruction of clinton-care....... which was basically obamacare during bill's term that hillary wrote #should have passed before i was born... and then i could have seen genetics and cardiology in 1997 #instead of an atraumatic dislocation pushing me to rheumatology and the rheum having O.O face in 2022 #THAT'S A 25 YEAR DELAY #and within those 25 years there's a whole lot of situations where republican policies and obstruction could have KILLED me #where i could have gotten wrong treatment in an emergency that could have KILLED me #personal

when i go to the gym i just set the incline up high on the treadmill and walk at like 3.5 mph for an hour because i Cant run/jog because my lungs are made of tissue paper. anyway i only go once a week and i still got tendonitis in my foot from too much uphill walking. wish i had health insurance so i could finally figure out why my entire body is so weak and apparently allergic to all forms of mild exercise 😑

#im pretty sure i have exercise induced asthma because even as a kid if i had to like run down the street to catch the bus itd take me #over an hour to catch my breath. or during the mile run or pacer in gym class id always get yelled at for not being able to keep up but #after 30 seconds ofjogging my lungs BURN

[kenobion]

I just tried this HIIT workout in the Apple Fitness+ app cause they gave me a free trial, and it just about ended me

#some of the movements were fun but I'm not good at cardio #cause I can't freaking breathe #I have allergic asthma and it feels like intense exercise triggers it too #cause I have to stop and gasp for breath and not just in a tired out way #personal #random

[bordonfreeman]

Wow guys that run was pretty good! Yea i think my jogging speed has gotten better! Welp, see yall next time!

[Starts limping away]

#AAOOUAUAHGHFHHH #i know exercise is good 4 me and all #but god these fitness checks kills me #they say 'pace yourself!' but i have to go harder than that or else i get like. nothing #i think i am getting better #but it sure doesn't feel like it! #auuuughhhjh my bonessssss #also everytime i do this im just more convinced i have some sort of asthma #god breathing hurts #also my hips. my hips and legs are screaming

I love (sarcasm) how my lungs feel like they're full of cotton after I go up stairs, or walk too much, or just exist. I love (still sarcasm) that the only functional inhaler available to me isn't compatible with my airchamber.

#like my symbicort doesnt really fit with my air chamber so i have to take it directly which means i get less in my lungs. #and like i keep my inhalers in my bag which is upstairs so i HAVE to go upstairs if i want to take it and ugh ._. #sometimes i feel perfectly fine and then suddenly for reasons unknown to me i just cant breathe. #its been happening more often but its not like a regular occurrence or anything yet #like its not from any activity or allergy that im aware of. it just happens. #i know that exercise triggers asthma attacks for me. so does laughing too hard and allergies. #but like idk whats causing the sudden changes. its so frustrating. #ive had breathing problems my whole life so like its whatever but im gonna complain today. i deserve to complain. #batty blogging #text

tbh i’ve stopped being mad about the fact that my body developed psychosomatic asthma as an anxiety response because honestly???? who the fuck else is doing it like me

#also for the record i do have actual asthma too so #but yea my body decides to Forget How To Breathe/makes my subconscious take incorrect breaths to simulate wheezing #whenever im Super Anxious and trying to suppress it #and now that i know what it is im like. brother can’t we just Lose It like normal people #@my body girl who are you #anyways whatever tf is going on with my organs at all times is objectively hilarious ngl #mossy speaks #personal #i was a bit worried abt it being a covid symptom earlier but the life hack is do smth that elevates heart rate and makes u breathe heavier #like. sword fighting game or exercise. bc the brain forgets to override that and i’ll start breathing normally again #literally why is my brain and its responses to things a literal clown show /lh #its so funnygbfmgnfmf

Me, having done zero strenuous exercise for months because executive functioning is hard: I can totally just hop right in on this workout video series I used to do, no problem!

My lungs, heart, muscles: whatthefuckwhatthefuckwhatthefuck *alarms blaring*

#this was...a terrible idea #i love this lady because she's so encouraging and has lots of modifications and while it's already a short 15 minutes #it's usually a 5 minute set repeated 3 times so i can quit after 2 rounds if i'm compromising my form due to shaking and gasping for breath #love when my lungs remind me of our exercise-induced asthma 🙃 #at least i have my bedtime yoga video to look forward to! #i feel terrible all the time and i need to exercise more but whoo boy is that executive disfunction hard to get around

talked to my psychiatrist about my stress induced tics and she was like well we can't always control our anxieties but we can control how we react to them. kinda ignoring the definition of tics there but okay

#she suggests breathing exercises (i have asthma) and no i am not allowed any anti anxiety medication (why do i even have a psychiatrist) #finlay talks
