! suffer from beta blocker induced asthma, triggered by pollutants, cold,house

dust - you name it. I don't have any medication for it but I stumbled on a

breathing technique that relieves attacks.

It's very simple: it's a technique recommended of old for better

health. You simply breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Purse your lips gently on the outbreath and you will be able to exhale fully,

thus allowing you to take a full breath in on the next inhalation. Keep this up

for as long as the attack lasts - it could save your life.

And RELAX! When I was having asthma attacks, it seemed to me that I could easily

die, just because of the panic, if I didn't get into a state of mind where I

*trusted* that my body would allow enough air through to keep me alive. If I

panicked and tried harder and harder to breathe, that would have undoubtedly

made things worse. Breathing slowly, deeply, but somehow lightly, got me through

it. And getting into a kind of meditative state, just *allowing* the breath...
