    Treatments include a series of reduced-breathing exercises that focus on nasal-breathing, breath-holding and relaxation. Advocates of the Buteyko method claim that it can alleviate symptoms and reliance on medication for patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and chronic hyperventilation.

  3. Pursed-lip breathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pursed-lip_breathing

    Pursed-lip breathing increases positive pressure generated in the conducting branches of the lungs. [4] This can hold open bronchioles in patients with high lung compliance, such as those with emphysema. [4] Pursed-lip breathing also accesses the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces stress during episodes of shortness of breath. [5]

    Bronchodilators help relax and widen the airways, which improve the airflow. Inhaled corticosteroids can help decrease airway inflammation. [11] Long-term oxygen therapy is usually reserved for more severe chronic cases. [9] [page needed] Severe cases may need hospitalization and mechanical ventilation to help support breathing by keeping the ...

    This can be measured with breathing devices such as a peak flow meter or by spirometry. Most people with COPD have characteristics of emphysema and chronic bronchitis to varying degrees. Asthma being a reversible obstruction of airways is often considered separately, but many COPD patients also have some degree of reversibility in their airways ...

    Some of the most common are asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Most chronic respiratory dieseases are not curable; however, various forms of treatment that help dilate major air passages and improve shortness of breath can help control symptoms and increase the quality of life.
