Causes hyperventilation, overbreathing, anxiety, panic attack.

Bend over and notice how much harder it is to breathe. Please just do that right now so you get the feel of what I am saying.

This breathing difficulty is because your muscles are restricting the ease and depth of your diaphragm and rib expansion. There are many other ways this occurs, without even being aware of them. See the last on the left margin for more about that. Properly supported breathing is similar to the foundation or basement of a building supporting the upper structure but having little else to do with its internal functioning. Posture is critical but more about that later in the test.

The diaphragm and rib cage do the inhaling and exhaling. Any other muscle being engaged is purely supportive. Proper support/guidance from accessory breathing muscles is similar to how an elevator shaft guides the elevator but does not carry the passengers though it may enclose them. Bend the shaft (poor posture) and the elevator will not rise or if you are used to thinking of this as an umbrella opening, it will not open as easily or at all; or book stacking, the books will reach a certain height and prematurely cease rising, inhibiting ease and depth of the next inhale. AS a result, the oxygen cost of breathing greatly increases and the Autonomic Nervous System functioning becomes over-stressed and distorted. Keys to my own breathing development lay hidden for 45 years. It took so long because I had, what I learned to describe as Unbalanced Deep Breathing Mechanics or what I now call UDB©

I’ve observed that, MANY others live 24/7 with UDB, just as I did. Some KNOW there is something wrong with their breathing but don’t know what it is and what to do about it. Others go from health professional to health professional, spend thousands of hours and small fortunes in medical expenses that often include harmful medications. Their breathing development problem remains undetected

Attempts at taking a deeper breath, or struggling against shallow or restricted breathing can trigger or worsen UDB. UDB can act like a warning sign much like hypoglycemia can be a predictor of potential diabetes. This “Hidden” or tendency towards UDB lies waiting to present itself.

UDB STRIKES or is WORSENED by Stress, trauma, fatigue, fear, anxiety, panic or even positive emotions. Because it can hide itself so well, Many with UDB seem “normal”. These "normal" people worry me.

Do you ever experience any of the following list on the left margin? They are ALL often or always associated with what I call UDB.

The Free Breathing Tests go into this even more deeply to help guide you toward effective methods of reducing or eliminating UDB, aka hyperventilation or overbreathing.

These are ALL possible indicators of UDB -Unbalanced Deep Breathing. Develop your breathing and many or all symptoms will improve or disappear. Recommendation - Take our FREE breathing tests
