I know this is older but I just found this. Lifetime asthmatic here (45 years old, first attack at just weeks old) and I learned more watching this video than I have from any doctor I have seen. THANK YOU!!!!
awesome. try magnesium supplements too. usually too much calcium (found in cheese or milk products is not good). lastly, more water 8 cups on average daily.
Thanks be to God I found you and this LIFE CHANGING video! I am Recovering from Covid 19 and had Pneumonia at the end of it. I have sat during the course of this video outdoors and did the breathing exercises along with you Doctor. Already I feel better! I am a believer and will follow this breathing exercises. Thank you!!!!!!
@@claessorensson225 How are you feeling now? My friend had pneumonia less than 8 months ago - tested negative many times for covid19. She didn't go to Hospital for that but recovered at home. Right after the beginning of the year she got a terrible cold, she felt like she wanted to die she was so sick, turns put she had covid19 this time and pneumonia again. She was at the hospital for about three weeks and now she's in rehab and she still using oxygen. I hope she'll be okay her health is not the best.
I started this a few days ago. I have asthma and just recovered from covid. My Breathlessness was scary and had no energy for anything. My medication would not work. After only a couple of days I am so so much better thanks to these breathing exercises. Anyone considering this, do it. You will not regret it.
So good to hear this. I have asthma and recovering from covid and so very short of breathe. Did you continue to get better with the breathlessness after a couple of days of these exercises? It is so scary
@@TheLisajoyce yes I did. I physically wrote out a list of a few breathing exercises and tried to do them throughout the day (3 times was probably the most I managed). Be patient and stick with it. When your well enough you can begin to challenge yourself more with short walks or small swim, whatever works for you. Definitely stay with your medication too. I think the combination of medicine and exercises complimented each other. Best of luck with it and just take it day by day. There is light at the end of the tunnel
Excellent to hear this. Traditionally I am a mouth breather, I have since had a septoplasty to correct a deviated septum. My nose airflow is greatly improved. However I still continue to mouth breath at night, it's almost the habit is so deeply ingrained. I will order the mouth tapes. What is your experience? Thanks
I cured myself of asthma 5 years ago. Buteyko works. I mostly just used (and continue to use) a simple exercise of 10 5-second breath holds, with 10-15 seconds of normal breathing. So simple. All medications stopped 5 years ago. I have 6 cats and had immunotherapy (allergy shots) for 5 years without establishing immunity. Buteyko provided me with not just an improvement, but a complete cure. I threw out my epipen (long expired) a few months ago! I’m adding the following: breath holds are always at the end of a normal exhalation. Always nose breathe! If you need to do the various nose unblocking methods that Patrick and others indicate.
@Kathleen Adams Do you have other channels that you recommend also? Did you learn it from this channel? It seems great to me, almost too good to be true
People need to do breathing exercises every day especially during this coronavirus epidemic. It has helped me sleep better and as an asthmatic it’s helped for several years.
That makes me so happy to hear! My grandmother has asthma and bad lungs, (she still runs around her big house doing all kinds of activities haha, she can't sit down for too long 😅) and your comment makes me feel very motivated to keep giving her exercises AND doing them myself as well ☺ You're a very beautiful lady, thank you so much for writing this comment! All my love!
Valorie mad That’s awesome that your Grandma is so active. Doing the breathing exercises also helps with concentration and awareness and focus on that you’re actually breathing. If that makes sense. I should do them more often but I usually try to remember to do the breathing exercises when I get in bed because I have adhd especially at bed time where I can not get my brain to focus on one thing at a time. So the breathing exercises helps with that as well as strengthening the lungs.
Virgen Weed : And she died from the COPD? Breathing exercises isn’t medicine. It helps strengthen your lungs. Everyone should be doing this even if they don’t have any medical issues.
I have tried this today. I am 5 weeks into recovery from COVID-19 and although I experienced some breathlessness since the start it was just a week ago that I began to experience more I tense shortness of breath at night. I found other breathing exercises were putting too much pressure on my lungs and in turn I would experience palpitations which increased anxiety that comes with breathlessness. This was much more gentle and less forceful. I will try this again before I go to sleep, I'm hopeful this will help with my recovery.
I may Have COVID, it’s been a good few days now. Better in the daytime, worse at night. Nights are really hard. Feels awful. These breathing exorcises actually help restore breathing patterns and have helped me stay calm. I get much better oxygen feelings with this than trying to force air into my lungs. It actually has I,proved the tightness in my chest as well and I feel like this has been crucial to me getting better. Thank you so much. This is truly awful but luckily the respiratory stuff is the only symptom I have left. Everything else has improved. Good to know that there are people who really care in these hard times out there. Praise the Lord for all he has done to teach us and help is to Live through this. Thank you for your help. Stay well. God bless you!
I realize that you posted this 2 weeks ago. Just as I was getting sick. You have helped me overcome this sickness with this exercises also teaching me important lessons about breathing. Thank you very much for this video. It made a difference in my critical situation. God bless you.
If there is one video YT algos should promote, this would be the one. Thanks a lot man, I have learnt more from you than I ever did from all my doctors put together.
With your work is connected with God way of healing so l pray the Lord to open your heart to Jesus tepent your sins and accept Him as your personal saviour and believe in Him so you will be rwarded eternal life Be blessed you dont need to ho anywhere just believe Him wherever you are you need only Jesus in your house that all God need from you
I'm recovering from COVID-19 at home. Thank you so much for this video. Your instruction and explanations are excellent. You demeanor is so trustworthy. I'm going to do the exercises every hour. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
You are God”s sent, thank you for sharing your knowledge and giving so many the most useful advices! Very, very grateful, i am already spreading your video internationally! Take care and enormous thank you again !!!!!
I wish I had known about this 4 months ago, before I got covid. After watching this video I now understand what went wrong. I've literally made myself sicker by breathing the wrong way. It's been 3,5 months now, still not recovered, but getting a little bit better by breathing better. I only hope there is no permanent damage...
It's been 2 months for me and I can't believe it takes so long to recover! I pray for no haul side effects for both of us! Doctors don't tell you anything about the correct breathing techniques !
@@SuperSoraya50 I'm approaching 2 months too and it's been rough. I can honestly say proper breathing has helped me so much. Some days I can't do anything more than a 20 min walk. Can't watch TV too much or do anything except eat and breathe. It does get better, very slowly. Make sure you eat healthy, stay hydrated, sleep well and try your best not to stress. One day at a time. I had 2 "relapses" where I got myself sick again by doing too much
@@dtla5052 I know! I walked on the beach for an hour last week, and got so tired, the heat in Florida makes my oxygen level decrease, so I can't stay too long! I do eat healthy, I am from France and always ate a Mediterranean diet. I used to be so active everyday, plus work as a server, and now I can't do anything, and I am getting bored sitting home watching TV. As far as sleep, it has worsen, and I am experiencing hair loss. I just started taking antibiotics for pneumonia, and all these issues are kind of getting me down at times! This virus from hell, is the worse illness I ever had of my 61 years of being alive!! I pray we both get well in Jesus name, and God restores us to perfect health! God bless you Jack!
@@SuperSoraya50 Amen. Yes it really is. I never been sick or had any health problems. I never expirenced fatigue before unless I was sprinting or doing heavy squats/deadlifts. Now I feel it all day long. Its really messed with my sleep too. I was working 2 jobs. Now I work 2 days a week and only 4 hours per shift. Can't really do much too and it was getting me down. I hear the hair loss from covid is only temporary and after a year you should be growing it back. I believe we are going to heal, even if it is slowly. One day at a time, sometimes the anxiety is bad so for me its one breathe at a time. I pray for our healing, God bless 🙏❤
This video is so helpful! I had COVID19 back in December 2019...I was VERY sick for 5 weeks (I had symptoms for 3 weeks before getting really really sick. Back them we didn’t even know that COVID-19 existed, I remember myself crying in bed... feeling like leaving this earth...not prepared to leave my dogs behind) . During the summer of 2020 my health was just fine, I had energy and for the first time since COVID-19, I had zero breathing problems. It is now fall of 2020 ...allergy season is here and I’m having some new allergy symptoms....one of them is that I’m finding myself out of breath. And that makes me feel heart palpitations. Heart palpitations make me anxious....anxiety doesn’t let me fall as sleep. I will be watching this video in it’s entirety.... and I will be practicing this breathing exercises.
It is amazing that I am just learning how to breathe correctly at age 67, but I just became aware of my bronchiectasis last year, thank you. I will start this practice several times a day.
I have copd as a result of a near fatal bout of varicella pneumonia. I often have difficulty getting enough air, these techniques are very helpful. Thankyou for all your excellent advice! Bless you!
@@OxygenAdvantage Thank you for this video it had helped me during my fight with Covid-19. My mom was hospitalized and developed pulmonary embolism shes currently on oxygen machine- can she do this exercise?
Well explained...easy to understand..I learned more about recovery breathing than any video post. Practical, non-technical explanations, and straight to the point. Thank YOU! I subscribed for ALL notifications .
Thank you for this video; you are a calming presence in this scary and chaotic time. I attended a clinic you did in Ohio about 11 yrs ago and it changed my life. To this day, I do your meditation in the morning and at night. I was diagnosed with asthma and bronchiectasis, and because of all of your techniques, I am completely medicine and inhaler free and in control of my breathing. I wish you would do more videos and meditations. I am scared of getting covid-19 given my health conditions, but I am thankful I have these tools and am confident I could beat it.
I stumbled upon this gentleman when researching Buteyko. I then downloaded and read his amazing book, The Oxygen Advantage. That book I do believe is truly life-changing. This video mentions a lot of the stuff from that book but if you're looking for more information on these methods then definitely try out his book. I am still new into these breathing exercises but I can already tell there are some differences in my sleep. Woke up this morning feeling refreshed for the first time in awhile. I breathe through my nose all day and do his breathing exercises 3 times per day in 10 minute periods. Looking forward to the long lasting effects of living healthfully and improving my lungs.
Best ever exercise I've done. I was on asthma inhaler and in 10 day's time my asthma symptoms are basically gone. I can't thank you enough Patrick. Wish there was more honest people like you who give good advise.
Thanks so much for watching @yunpate1891 Asthma can be benefitted hugely by learning functional breathing exercises. Of course, make sure any reduction in asthma medication is done in conjunction with your physician.
Nice work! I did your course 13 years ago and it cured my asmtha and hay fever. I stopped taping my mouth at night for a while and some of my symptoms came back. I started taping my mouth again two years ago and it’s incredible how good it is for overall health and reduction of symptoms. I often try to tell people they should tape their mouth at night and they look at me as if I’m crazy so I can only imagine what you go through. Keep going getting this vital information out there! I’ve no doubt it would also help people suffering with Covid-19.
Oxygen Advantage Hi I have a question. I think I have the virus, I have shortness of breath and I can’t sleep, i almost fall to sleep and are awakened by this inability to be able to swallow, it feels like anxiety , it’s really scary! any advice?
Thank you so much. Recovering from Covid with pneumonia blood clots and PE. I’m 3 months out from beginning of Covid these exercises seem so much more calming and affective then what I was told
OMG. GOD BLESS YOU FOR INFORMING US AND TAKING THE TIME & ENERGY TO BE REPETITIVE IN EXPLAINING THESE DIFFERENT EXERCISES. FOR THOSE OF US IN NEED AND EXPERIENCING ANXIETY OVER NOT KNOWING HOW TO HELP OURSELVES, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE WILL PROCESS THIS PRICELESS INFORMATION. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! 😇🙏❤️
Hi Linda! I'm so glad to have reached at least one person with my comment about this man. He is truly an angel on earth in the he explains this so many times. He realizes that those of us with Covid-19 are in a panic mode and very scared. that
Hi Linda! Thank you for replying to my comment about this remarkable man. He is truly an angel for us. He absolutely realizes that those of us with Covid-19 are in psychological panic mode, frightened and nervous especially if we are alone at home without any professional medical attention. That's why he is so repetitive. He drives it home to make sure we "get it". In his video, he lovingly gives us the tools we need to be able to help ourselves. He has made a very substantial contribution. If you're alone at home, it is important to monitor your vitals everyday. Like he mentions, see if you can find an oximeter. Try to find a blood pressure kit and a reliable thermometer. Record the readings in the morning when you wake up and in the evening. I hope for your speedy recovery. ❤️🙏🌹
Some of the best information I could find. I find the connection between humming and the use of 'Ommmm' by Buddhist while meditation to be interesting.
As a Nurse and someone with Asthma, I immediately feel better breathing as you explained and I’m noticing patients wearing masks for prolonged times have a habit of shallow mouth breathing.. some are developing Caridomyopathy .. it’s all about the breath If you cannot breath well you will be too afraid to live well … take off the masks 😷 friends , breathe and share only positive thoughts and ACTIONS❤🙏THE TIME IS NOW .. it will never be tomorrow
Thank you so much. I have long covid..shadows in lung. Your instruction has already made a difference since I saw this video last night. I will be practicing this every day. Thank you for this instruction.
I had covid-19 and am on oxygen. I was released from the hospital after 33 days and sent home with 4 Ltrs of oxygen per minute and had been unable to lower it even after three weeks. I just tried this and reduced my oxygen need while in bed to 2! This is incredible I will definitely keep doing it. Thank you so much Dr. and God bless you for sharing this information. 🙏🙏🙏
Although not at 100 % still, I am much better. I am completely off the oxygen but still tend to run out of breath in situations I ever did before. I also do get tired faster, but that's ok, I'm just thankful I get to still be here for my 12 yr old daughter
I found this at the beginning of Covid as my husband has childhood asthma to have something to help BEFORE - preventative - a word our medical world has never had in the SAT testing:( . Now I am a Buteyko instructor as it influences ALL HEALTH. Thank you Patrick - you are a TRAILBLAZER long before Breathing became popular💕
Currently dealing with COVID. Woke up last night with shortness of breath. I just kept trying to breath deeply through my mouth… as you can imagine, this only made it worse. Went to the ER to get my vitals checked and everything was fine thankfully. When I got home, this video is the only thing I found that could get me to sleep. It helped get me through today as well. Thank you so so much. 🙏
@@christineboydstrongtower Yeah, I’m with you. I’m not going to get into my opinions on here, but there’s not really an at home treatment that doctors will tell you to follow. They just tell you to come back if your oxygen drops below 93% or 92%. That’s the scariest part about all of this to me. I’m just thankful for this video!
@@shelley7209 hi there! I made a full recovery from just following the steps in this video. While it was a very real problem, a lot of it was mental for me. I now find myself breathing through my nose much more frequently in everyday life. I hope you get to feeling better! This video was amazing for me. I understand how scary it is.
Thank you for taking this time and sharing this information and breathing techniques. As a 3-time Open-Heart Surgery Patient w/Congestive Heart Failure, Sleep Apnea & Asthma. I found these breathing exercises most valuable and helpful to my overall oxygen saturation, 99% was displayed throughout your video as I continued the LSD Breathing. I remembered during first 12hrs following Aortic Valve Replacement 20yrs ago, I breathed just like your LSD Breathing, in hopes that making myself breathe slowly and deeply, would help to get the ventilator removed sooner rather than later. It worked! I was removed from the Ventilator many hours sooner than anticipated. It makes so much sense now, after listening to you in this video. Thank you
Update 5/8: now able to hold for 20 seconds on a regular basis. Heading for 25... Also used the "unplug a plugged nostril" method from another OA video this morning when I woke up with a stuffy nose. Worked like a charm! Thanks. Update 4/14: I've been doing the breathing exercises a couple of times a day and already increased my time to 20 seconds. Not every time I check it, but it has happened! Original post 4/10: Wow. Thanks for this incredibly informative video. My chest has been tight with anxiety for the last 3 weeks. I'm not prone to anxiety / panic attacks, it's almost like the way you feel after trying not to cry for a long time. I tried the BOLT and could only get to 15 seconds without my throat tightening and my muscles trying to breathe. I do guided breathing exercises at least once a day. I don't feel that I'm breathless and I don't have any (known) respiratory issues, but I wake up with incredibly dry mouth some mornings - as in, my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth. This was an evening test. I'll try it in the morning, see if I get any closer to the 25 second mark.
I love McKeown’s work! I recently fixed my mouth breathing and am increasing my BOLT score. And about 5 years ago I started using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser which opened up my lungs and toned my breathing muscles quickly. All the results are very profound.
Hi Lana, you may also love to check our video on “2 Breathing Techniques That Will Change Your Life” at th-cam.com/video/KUt1Y-mYF-A/w-d-xo.html In this video, we will teach you how and why to refine your natural breathing pattern as well as a breathing technique that will strengthen your internal system to grow even healthier. Hope you find this video useful. Thanks
What a wonderful Masterclass! For free!! This is called L.O.V.E.! This Doctor is such an example of competence + humbleness! I thank God for your precious life! It moved me to listen to all the detailed explanation. Interestingly, I already practice reducing/holding my breath while in unhealthy situations. I’ve always moved away quickly if someone sneezed or coughed near me! I think of other respiratory diseases, such as TB, that can contaminate us through the air. A big THANK YOU, Dr McKeown! God bless you and your family!
This video has been such a golden find. Never mind it even being great advise for COVID-19 and the long Covid I'm dealing with now but I've struggled with asthma for years and really could've done with knowing these simple techniques all along. Game changer thank you.
Many thanks. I'm sure I've been a mouth-breather most of my life. In the last few weeks I've been using some of the techniques of Buteyko - nose-breathing, humming etc - and feel much less anxious, more energy, sleeping better, waking more refreshed. I've not had covid. The advice from Patrick has helped me feel less tense about catching it. Great to read how it's helping other people as well. Bravo Patrick
paul halpin It’s been 3 weeks since me and my farther who lives with me tested positive at hospital I’m still not feel right very fatigued breathing not back to normal There seems to be a lot of up and downs with this virus you start to feel better then it comes again with a vengeance Unfortunately dads got double pneumonia and is in a bad way
Humming exercise helped me "clean-up" my lungs. Or at least this is how I feel. Patrick says 80times per day, 4 times per day. I did 80 times session (around 7min), 4 sessions per day. Great exercise for a Long Covid patients like myself! Thank you Patrick!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@vanjacalantropo that is a lot. I am doing humming exercise when I drive. This is perfect place to do it on your own without anyone listening to your practice. I would say that twice per day is fine. Now my humming exhaling is around 15 seconds, hence 4 per minute, 8min sessions. My lungs are at 82% and improving
Thank you for doing and sharing this video. It has given me so much hope. 2 months ago I was diagnosed with pneumonia and bronchiectasis following vaxx injury. Recovered from pneumonia but am now experiencing extreme dry mouth and high respiration rate averaging over 21 breaths per minute. Have started these exercises (oxygen saturation point reaching 100% when I slow my breaths) as well as mouth taping to return to nasal breathing. I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful gift of proper breathing techniques!
@@OxygenAdvantage I have recovered substantially and am breathing so well! I bought (through my son who lives in the US) your most recent book and have shared your videos and cds to my doctors and friends here in the Philippjnes. Have totally stopped use of bronchodilator since 2.5 months ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much for explaining simply....I have been an Asmatic for over50 years no one not even the many stays in hospital has ever given me advice like this...thank you x
Thank you ive had breathing issue with covid for 5 days and this night i couldnt sleep cause of phlem your tips helped my breathing and mental health as i was starting to feel helpless
This is very good. Thank you. I am here after Chris Cuomo talked about fighting off Covid-19 with pulmonary exercises. TH-cam should suggest this video more often.
@@scarred10 Have you tried this exercise yet? Why are you disputing this? You are the only person that feels this way ? He did not say it is medically proven or that you won't get the virus. But if it does'nt help the person , it certainly won't them
@@scarred10 The point of breathing exercises is not to reduce the risk of getting the virus. It is to reinforce your lungs to increase vitality and capacity, and reduce the effects on your lungs. When things are getting iffy on breathing, you want every advantage you can get. Being in good shape lung-wise is a good measure. You would be surprised how many things we can do for ourselves, for our own health. Most don't take to self-responsibility, we've been trained otherwise and of course if you won't do for yourself, than you'd likely prefer to take the attitude you are showing. But why not reconsider and try? You might be glad if it's you that's needing oxygen to get through this or maybe not.
You sir are a treasure! Thank you so much for posting this. I have been doing Wim Hof breathing for a while and have recently found James Nestor’s work and there heard about you and I’m so glad I did. Your delivery is caring your approach is solid and your acronym LSD is the best. 🙏🏻
I had beginning COPD, unknown cause, several years ago; rx with Albuterol inhaler prn. I asked if I needed any Pulm classes & was told no. (Altho, I needed an inhalation treatment after my knee surgery in ‘08 & ‘19). I also have Chronic Rhinitis with lower nasal sinus swelling; rx with nasal spray Azelastine. I was trying the salt-inhaler for my lungs & the Neti-pot nasal rinses to clear sinuses. Always a mouth-breather! THANK YOU for this breathing exercises video!
🌷When I was taking ‘black Seed oil’ (1Tbs+ p/day) for a bad cold, for the first time in 40 years my sinus’ were clear; I could breathe at night! (closed mouth:~) It tastes horrific!... like paint thinner smells (only worse) I withstood the taste using a bit of honey (touch the spoon into honey, then out- 1/8th tsp?) which cancels out the horrific taste... but I was ‘burping paint thinner’ for hours. (good thing I’m strong-willed, or maybe just crazy:~) I was also taking Oreganol P73; that is amazing also! Now, due to this awful pandemic, I’m starting to take both again... along with vitamin D3, 13 grams of vitamin C, Zinc lozenges etc... and a sugar-free 😒... green diet. This virus is about your immune system... I’m hoping to have cheesecake for my birthday in November! 🙂 ‘Didn’t intend for this to be so wordy- sorry. Best of luck to you and yours 💚
I am practicing what you have taught us and am feeling less breathless in general. Worsening asthma this year has been scary, but knowing how to improve my breathing is very comforting. THANK YOU!
My friend been telling me about Butekyo breathing for years well ....... I'm paying attention now!! I've forwarded this to friends big thank you Patrick for your generosity in putting this out as I know my friend paid for this information x
I m from Indian , this video really helped a lot to relax in anxiety and also from nose congestion, because of COVID, there is lot of anxiety and fear Thank you so much doctor, I really appreciate 🙏🏽🙏🏽
@@catherinemabila7822 me too unfortunately but I believe it will pass very soon🙌🏾❤️ I’m gonna give this a try also. I’m over covid 3/4 weeks now and just feeling somewhat anxious the last couple days 😕
Thanks so much! Could you pls clarify with the slow breathing that you mentioned, first do i need to really maximise the lung with air, second do i need to hold that breath for some counts ( to allow more oxygen time to get to the blood) before exhaling?
Your breath carries your spirit.. re spira tion. Spire stands for spirit. You enter the world on an inhale and you leave on an exhale and in between those a whole life is lived. Breath work has the ability to change your life. You can release trauma through breath work. How amazing in a time where awareness is so needed, the issue we are facing is respiratory and as a result, people are drawn to breath work.
Thank you so much for this information Doctor. There is so much we need to learn about how to take care of ourselves. Bless your heart for what you do selfishly, for others. Blessings to All.
Thabk you so much for this doc. This is indeed God sent! I will send this to as many people as possible. I am asthmatic and have fibrosis and nodules, and a post covid patient. and looking forward to getting well soon.
I know this is older but I just found this. Lifetime asthmatic here (45 years old, first attack at just weeks old) and I learned more watching this video than I have from any doctor I have seen. THANK YOU!!!!
I've also had lifelong breathing issues and buying his book The Oxygen advantage is one of the best things I ever did
Nj
awesome. try magnesium supplements too. usually too much calcium (found in cheese or milk products is not good). lastly, more water 8 cups on average daily.

@Kathleen Adams Do you have other channels that you recommend also? Did you learn it from this channel? It seems great to me, almost too good to be true
Do you do 10 5 second breath holds once a day?
People need to do breathing exercises every day especially during this coronavirus epidemic. It has helped me sleep better and as an asthmatic it’s helped for several years.
That makes me so happy to hear!
My grandmother has asthma and bad lungs, (she still runs around her big house doing all kinds of activities haha, she can't sit down for too long 😅) and your comment makes me feel very motivated to keep giving her exercises AND doing them myself as well ☺
You're a very beautiful lady, thank you so much for writing this comment!

Virgen Weed : And she died from the COPD? Breathing exercises isn’t medicine. It helps strengthen your lungs. Everyone should be doing this even if they don’t have any medical issues.
I will try it out, hope it helps
Definitely true! I’m thrilled that I came across McKeown’s work in January as I needed to get rid of mouth breathing day and night...and I did! 👍🏼👍🏼
This advice completely changed my wife’s sleep. She sleeps silently and much deeper. We practice it all day now even while cycling.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Patrick for all your instructions on nose breathing, it’s made a world of difference in my life.
I have tried this today. I am 5 weeks into recovery from COVID-19 and although I experienced some breathlessness since the start it was just a week ago that I began to experience more I tense shortness of breath at night. I found other breathing exercises were putting too much pressure on my lungs and in turn I would experience palpitations which increased anxiety that comes with breathlessness. This was much more gentle and less forceful. I will try this again before I go to sleep, I'm hopeful this will help with my recovery.
I agree others create too much pressure
Claire Scarborough I’m currently on week 4 and still have the same symptoms as you, I’m going to try this exercise as often as I can
You healed up yet hun? Im praying that The Most High heal you completley
Are you fine now
Have you recovered now ? How is your health .
Your book is changing my life.
ALL i can say is thank you .
Great Thanks for letting me know Zaki. Patrick
I may Have COVID, it’s been a good few days now. Better in the daytime, worse at night. Nights are really hard. Feels awful. These breathing exorcises actually help restore breathing patterns and have helped me stay calm. I get much better oxygen feelings with this than trying to force air into my lungs. It actually has I,proved the tightness in my chest as well and I feel like this has been crucial to me getting better. Thank you so much. This is truly awful but luckily the respiratory stuff is the only symptom I have left. Everything else has improved. Good to know that there are people who really care in these hard times out there. Praise the Lord for all he has done to teach us and help is to Live through this. Thank you for your help. Stay well. God bless you!
Amen
I agree. The nights are worse for some reason. Might be a bit anxiety as well.
Thanks
Hi Chance. Glad that this video is helping you. Many thanks
God bless you
I realize that you posted this 2 weeks ago. Just as I was getting sick. You have helped me overcome this sickness with this exercises also teaching me important lessons about breathing. Thank you very much for this video. It made a difference in my critical situation. God bless you.
Hi Jamsin. Glad it helped. Take care
If there is one video YT algos should promote, this would be the one.
Thanks a lot man, I have learnt more from you than I ever did from all my doctors put together.
Thanks for the comment @raghavmehta4753.
Hope you're healthy and well.
Kind sir, thankyou for posting this video. God bless you and your family and friends.
I would like to thank this man for stating that these breathing exercises are free in the title. I hate the TH-cam videos that charge me
I never ever heard of any TH-cam charging anyone!!
Drink herbal boil water with black paper , ginger, tulsi leaf 2 or 3 if u have, and massage your lungs with warm mustered oil. Take honey,
Excellent teaching. I could feel your genuine concern for people and their well-being.
This is Buteiko exercises.Not your exercises.OMG.
Thank you Patrick, have your book, have listened to many of your talks and as a Yoga teacher really appreciate what you so generously teach.
With your work is connected with God way of healing so l pray the Lord to open your heart to Jesus tepent your sins and accept Him as your personal saviour and believe in Him so you will be rwarded eternal life Be blessed you dont need to ho anywhere just believe Him wherever you are you need only Jesus in your house that all God need from you
@@lydianaitore9670 i believe in the lord Jesus. No matter what we will die and in christ we go to be with him.
Thank you for taking the time to teach us these techniques, I appreciate this.

God bless you, Friends! 🙂
Because of your techniques, I don't have to make a trip to the ER every night after Dinner. Learned a lot from you Patrick. Techniques that works.
This is so wonderful, there is no word to express my gratitude adequately. Thanks for posting this so much XO
I wish I had known about this 4 months ago, before I got covid. After watching this video I now understand what went wrong. I've literally made myself sicker by breathing the wrong way. It's been 3,5 months now, still not recovered, but getting a little bit better by breathing better. I only hope there is no permanent damage...
I hope you are healing 100% 🙏
How are you doing these days?
It's been 2 months for me and I can't believe it takes so long to recover! I pray for no haul side effects for both of us! Doctors don't tell you anything about the correct breathing techniques !
@@SuperSoraya50 I'm approaching 2 months too and it's been rough. I can honestly say proper breathing has helped me so much. Some days I can't do anything more than a 20 min walk. Can't watch TV too much or do anything except eat and breathe. It does get better, very slowly. Make sure you eat healthy, stay hydrated, sleep well and try your best not to stress. One day at a time. I had 2 "relapses" where I got myself sick again by doing too much
@@dtla5052 I know! I walked on the beach for an hour last week, and got so tired, the heat in Florida makes my oxygen level decrease, so I can't stay too long! I do eat healthy, I am from France and always ate a Mediterranean diet. I used to be so active everyday, plus work as a server, and now I can't do anything, and I am getting bored sitting home watching TV. As far as sleep, it has worsen, and I am experiencing hair loss. I just started taking antibiotics for pneumonia, and all these issues are kind of getting me down at times! This virus from hell, is the worse illness I ever had of my 61 years of being alive!! I pray we both get well in Jesus name, and God restores us to perfect health! God bless you Jack!
@@SuperSoraya50 Amen. Yes it really is. I never been sick or had any health problems. I never expirenced fatigue before unless I was sprinting or doing heavy squats/deadlifts. Now I feel it all day long. Its really messed with my sleep too. I was working 2 jobs. Now I work 2 days a week and only 4 hours per shift. Can't really do much too and it was getting me down. I hear the hair loss from covid is only temporary and after a year you should be growing it back. I believe we are going to heal, even if it is slowly. One day at a time, sometimes the anxiety is bad so for me its one breathe at a time. I pray for our healing, God bless 🙏❤
This video is so helpful! I had COVID19 back in December 2019...I was VERY sick for 5 weeks (I had symptoms for 3 weeks before getting really really sick. Back them we didn’t even know that COVID-19 existed, I remember myself crying in bed... feeling like leaving this earth...not prepared to leave my dogs behind) . During the summer of 2020 my health was just fine, I had energy and for the first time since COVID-19, I had zero breathing problems. It is now fall of 2020 ...allergy season is here and I’m having some new allergy symptoms....one of them is that I’m finding myself out of breath. And that makes me feel heart palpitations. Heart palpitations make me anxious....anxiety doesn’t let me fall as sleep. I will be watching this video in it’s entirety.... and I will be practicing this breathing exercises.
It is amazing that I am just learning how to breathe correctly at age 67, but I just became aware of my bronchiectasis last year, thank you. I will start this practice several times a day.
How is it going since incorporating this practice?
Thank you ! God Reward You Abundantly!
I have copd as a result of a near fatal bout of varicella pneumonia. I often have difficulty getting enough air, these techniques are very helpful. Thankyou for all your excellent advice! Bless you!
you are welcome Georgia. Patrick

Love all your info Patrick,doing my belly breathing,mouth taping at night,a breath hols,now getting to up to 35/40,changed my life,thank you.
Well explained...easy to understand..I learned more about recovery breathing than any video post. Practical, non-technical explanations, and straight to the point. Thank YOU! I subscribed for ALL notifications .
Thank you for this video; you are a calming presence in this scary and chaotic time. I attended a clinic you did in Ohio about 11 yrs ago and it changed my life. To this day, I do your meditation in the morning and at night. I was diagnosed with asthma and bronchiectasis, and because of all of your techniques, I am completely medicine and inhaler free and in control of my breathing. I wish you would do more videos and meditations. I am scared of getting covid-19 given my health conditions, but I am thankful I have these tools and am confident I could beat it.
Wow. Linda. Time flies. Thanks very much for getting in touch. Patrick

@@OxygenAdvantage my heart beat fast ie 90 per minutes very discomfort
The newest therapy from Germany: Vital Air 5+ device !
I stumbled upon this gentleman when researching Buteyko. I then downloaded and read his amazing book, The Oxygen Advantage. That book I do believe is truly life-changing. This video mentions a lot of the stuff from that book but if you're looking for more information on these methods then definitely try out his book. I am still new into these breathing exercises but I can already tell there are some differences in my sleep. Woke up this morning feeling refreshed for the first time in awhile. I breathe through my nose all day and do his breathing exercises 3 times per day in 10 minute periods. Looking forward to the long lasting effects of living healthfully and improving my lungs.
Best ever exercise I've done.
I was on asthma inhaler and in 10 day's time my asthma symptoms are basically gone.
I can't thank you enough Patrick.
Wish there was more honest people like you who give good advise.
Thanks so much for watching @yunpate1891
Asthma can be benefitted hugely by learning functional breathing exercises.
Of course, make sure any reduction in asthma medication is done in conjunction with your physician.
Thank you for the good advise
Nice work! I did your course 13 years ago and it cured my asmtha and hay fever. I stopped taping my mouth at night for a while and some of my symptoms came back. I started taping my mouth again two years ago and it’s incredible how good it is for overall health and reduction of symptoms. I often try to tell people they should tape their mouth at night and they look at me as if I’m crazy so I can only imagine what you go through. Keep going getting this vital information out there! I’ve no doubt it would also help people suffering with Covid-19.
Thank you you’re adorable and so
really professional. Blessings galore dear doc!
Cured my asthma that I had for about 20 years. Had to use an inhaler around 5 times a day. THIS REALLY WORKS!!
Mr123slayer123 so happy you healed yourself! Thank you for sharing!!
How long did you practice these exercises before noticing a difference?
Many blessings to you and your family.
Such a great testimonial.
Well done. Patrick
Oxygen Advantage Hi I have a question. I think I have the virus, I have shortness of breath and I can’t sleep, i almost fall to sleep and are awakened by this inability to be able to swallow, it feels like anxiety , it’s really scary! any advice?
You are a great instructor. I learned more about my body and the respiratory system than I did in biology class. Thank you.
Thank you Dr Anders. Patrick
Thank you so much. Recovering from Covid with pneumonia blood clots and PE. I’m 3 months out from beginning of Covid these exercises seem so much more calming and affective then what I was told

THESE DIFFERENT EXERCISES.
FOR THOSE OF US IN NEED AND EXPERIENCING ANXIETY OVER NOT KNOWING HOW TO HELP OURSELVES, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE WILL PROCESS THIS PRICELESS INFORMATION. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! 😇🙏❤️
Thank you I will do this exercise
Hi Linda!
I'm so glad to have reached at least one person with my comment about this man. He is truly an angel on earth in the he explains this so many times. He realizes that those of us with Covid-19 are in a panic mode and very scared. that
Hi Linda!
Thank you for replying to my comment about this remarkable man. He is truly an angel for us. He absolutely realizes that those of us with Covid-19 are in psychological panic mode, frightened and nervous especially if we are alone at home without any professional medical attention. That's why he is so repetitive. He drives it home to make sure we "get it".
In his video, he lovingly gives us the tools we need to be able to help ourselves.
He has made a very substantial contribution. If you're alone at home, it is important to monitor your vitals everyday. Like he mentions, see if you can find an oximeter. Try to find a blood pressure kit and a reliable thermometer. Record the readings in the morning when you wake up and in the evening. I hope for your speedy recovery.
❤️🙏🌹
Some of the best information I could find.
I find the connection between humming and the use of 'Ommmm' by Buddhist while meditation to be interesting.
I would like to read more about the physiology of humming/meditation/moaning. I will start with McKeown's books to see what references come up.
Yes, same idea.
What is humming?
backrack01 Making an OMMMM sound.
@@backrack01 creating a tone/sound with closed mouth...as if you know the melody but not the words.....
As a Nurse and someone with Asthma, I immediately feel better breathing as you explained and I’m noticing patients wearing masks for prolonged times have a habit of shallow mouth breathing.. some are developing Caridomyopathy .. it’s all about the breath
If you cannot breath well you will be too afraid to live well … take off the masks 😷 friends , breathe and share only positive thoughts and ACTIONS❤🙏THE TIME IS NOW .. it will never be tomorrow
Thank you so much. I have long covid..shadows in lung. Your instruction has already made a difference since I saw this video last night. I will be practicing this every day. Thank you for this instruction.
Thank you for your generosity to share your professional knowledge 🙏
Thank you for the excellent demonstration. Let’s save lives! Be healthy everyone.
I had covid-19 and am on oxygen. I was released from the hospital after 33 days and sent home with 4 Ltrs of oxygen per minute and had been unable to lower it even after three weeks. I just tried this and reduced my oxygen need while in bed to 2! This is incredible I will definitely keep doing it. Thank you so much Dr. and God bless you for sharing this information. 🙏🙏🙏
Thats amazing, any updates?
Hi I read your comment. Hope you're doing better now. I don't want to ne rude but may I ask what vaccination you received?
Hi I read your comment. Hope you're doing better now. I don't want to ne rude but may I ask what vaccination you received?
Although not at 100 % still, I am much better. I am completely off the oxygen but still tend to run out of breath in situations I ever did before. I also do get tired faster, but that's ok, I'm just thankful I get to still be here for my 12 yr old daughter
Since then, I have been vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine
Recovering from Covid atm. Had pretty bad pneumonia. Underlying asthma. This is wonderful information. Thank you for this information.
Good vid. There's a nice breathing exercise in the meditation book "30 Days to Reduce Anxiety" by Harper Daniels.
Were you put on antibiotics?

How are you now?

Thank you so much, I'm very convinced about this work
I found this at the beginning of Covid as my husband has childhood asthma to have something to help BEFORE - preventative - a word our medical world has never had in the SAT testing:( . Now I am a Buteyko instructor as it influences ALL HEALTH. Thank you Patrick - you are a TRAILBLAZER long before Breathing became popular💕
Thank you, thank you. I'm recovering from a respiratory event and this was extremely helpful! I hope a great many people see this.
Great to hear Steven. Patrick
Hey what respiratory event are you talking about? I'm having difficulty in breathing would be nice of we could talk.
Currently dealing with COVID. Woke up last night with shortness of breath. I just kept trying to breath deeply through my mouth… as you can imagine, this only made it worse. Went to the ER to get my vitals checked and everything was fine thankfully. When I got home, this video is the only thing I found that could get me to sleep. It helped get me through today as well. Thank you so so much. 🙏
How are you now my friend if you dont mind me asking?
Why couldn’t the doctors in ER be of more help??…isn’t that what ER is about??
@@christineboydstrongtower Yeah, I’m with you. I’m not going to get into my opinions on here, but there’s not really an at home treatment that doctors will tell you to follow. They just tell you to come back if your oxygen drops below 93% or 92%. That’s the scariest part about all of this to me. I’m just thankful for this video!
@@WynnnC how are you now! I’m going on 3* years of shortness of breath and symptoms are getting worse! I hope you got better.
@@shelley7209 hi there! I made a full recovery from just following the steps in this video. While it was a very real problem, a lot of it was mental for me. I now find myself breathing through my nose much more frequently in everyday life. I hope you get to feeling better! This video was amazing for me. I understand how scary it is.
Thank you for taking this time and sharing this information and breathing techniques. As a 3-time Open-Heart Surgery Patient w/Congestive Heart Failure, Sleep Apnea & Asthma. I found these breathing exercises most valuable and helpful to my overall oxygen saturation, 99% was displayed throughout your video as I continued the LSD Breathing. I remembered during first 12hrs following Aortic Valve Replacement 20yrs ago, I breathed just like your LSD Breathing, in hopes that making myself breathe slowly and deeply, would help to get the ventilator removed sooner rather than later. It worked! I was removed from the Ventilator many hours sooner than anticipated. It makes so much sense now, after listening to you in this video. Thank you
Thank you very much!!🙏🏻

Update 5/8: now able to hold for 20 seconds on a regular basis. Heading for 25... Also used the "unplug a plugged nostril" method from another OA video this morning when I woke up with a stuffy nose. Worked like a charm! Thanks.
Update 4/14: I've been doing the breathing exercises a couple of times a day and already increased my time to 20 seconds. Not every time I check it, but it has happened!
Original post 4/10: Wow. Thanks for this incredibly informative video. My chest has been tight with anxiety for the last 3 weeks. I'm not prone to anxiety / panic attacks, it's almost like the way you feel after trying not to cry for a long time. I tried the BOLT and could only get to 15 seconds without my throat tightening and my muscles trying to breathe. I do guided breathing exercises at least once a day. I don't feel that I'm breathless and I don't have any (known) respiratory issues, but I wake up with incredibly dry mouth some mornings - as in, my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth. This was an evening test. I'll try it in the morning, see if I get any closer to the 25 second mark.
Quant Quill you can get a frolov breathing device that will help increase your cp ( amount of time you can hold your breath).
Quant Quill yuj
well done on your CP improvement. Patrick
I love McKeown’s work! I recently fixed my mouth breathing and am increasing my BOLT score. And about 5 years ago I started using the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser which opened up my lungs and toned my breathing muscles quickly. All the results are very profound.
I just bought one of these exercisers, am excited to get started with it..

What a wonderful Masterclass! For free!! This is called L.O.V.E.! This Doctor is such an example of competence + humbleness! I thank God for your precious life! It moved me to listen to all the detailed explanation. Interestingly, I already practice reducing/holding my breath while in unhealthy situations. I’ve always moved away quickly if someone sneezed or coughed near me! I think of other respiratory diseases, such as TB, that can contaminate us through the air. A big THANK YOU, Dr McKeown! God bless you and your family!
Thank you so much for this! God sent!
Thank you so much for your help, many blessings to you and your family.
I get bronchitis, so I am very practicing being safer.
This video has been such a golden find. Never mind it even being great advise for COVID-19 and the long Covid I'm dealing with now but I've struggled with asthma for years and really could've done with knowing these simple techniques all along. Game changer thank you.
Amazing information. Thank you so much for this video!!!
Many thanks. I'm sure I've been a mouth-breather most of my life. In the last few weeks I've been using some of the techniques of Buteyko - nose-breathing, humming etc - and feel much less anxious, more energy, sleeping better, waking more refreshed. I've not had covid. The advice from Patrick has helped me feel less tense about catching it. Great to read how it's helping other people as well. Bravo Patrick

I’m asthmatic as well
I’m continuing to do these breathing exercises

Humming exercise helped me "clean-up" my lungs. Or at least this is how I feel. Patrick says 80times per day, 4 times per day. I did 80 times session (around 7min), 4 sessions per day. Great exercise for a Long Covid patients like myself! Thank you Patrick!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@@vanjacalantropo that is a lot. I am doing humming exercise when I drive. This is perfect place to do it on your own without anyone listening to your practice. I would say that twice per day is fine. Now my humming exhaling is around 15 seconds, hence 4 per minute, 8min sessions. My lungs are at 82% and improving
@@ivanivke thank you

Recovered from pneumonia but am now experiencing extreme dry mouth and high respiration rate averaging over 21 breaths per minute. Have started these exercises (oxygen saturation point reaching 100% when I slow my breaths) as well as mouth taping to return to nasal breathing. I cannot thank you enough for this wonderful gift of proper breathing techniques!

This is absolute rubbish, no breathing exercise can reduce the risk of getting any virus.
@@scarred10 Have you tried this exercise yet? Why are you disputing this?
You are the only person that feels this way ? He did not say it is medically proven or that you won't get the virus. But if it does'nt help the person , it certainly won't them
@@scarred10 The point of breathing exercises is not to reduce the risk of getting the virus. It is to reinforce your lungs to increase vitality and capacity, and reduce the effects on your lungs. When things are getting iffy on breathing, you want every advantage you can get. Being in good shape lung-wise is a good measure. You would be surprised how many things we can do for ourselves, for our own health. Most don't take to self-responsibility, we've been trained otherwise and of course if you won't do for yourself, than you'd likely prefer to take the attitude you are showing. But why not reconsider and try? You might be glad if it's you that's needing oxygen to get through this or maybe not.
What happened to breathing out through your mouth?
Thank you Patrick!!
Awesome! Thank you! I will share this.
This breathing exercise is concise and helps reduce difficulty in breathing. Thank you so much!
You sir are a treasure! Thank you so much for posting this. I have been doing Wim Hof breathing for a while and have recently found James Nestor’s work and there heard about you and I’m so glad I did. Your delivery is caring your approach is solid and your acronym LSD is the best. 🙏🏻
I had beginning COPD, unknown cause, several years ago; rx with Albuterol inhaler prn. I asked if I needed any Pulm classes & was told no. (Altho, I needed an inhalation treatment after my knee surgery in ‘08 & ‘19). I also have Chronic Rhinitis with lower nasal sinus swelling; rx with nasal spray Azelastine. I was trying the salt-inhaler for my lungs & the Neti-pot nasal rinses to clear sinuses. Always a mouth-breather!
THANK YOU for this breathing exercises video!
🌷When I was taking ‘black Seed oil’ (1Tbs+ p/day) for a bad cold, for the first time in 40 years my sinus’ were clear; I could breathe at night! (closed mouth:~)
It tastes horrific!... like paint thinner smells (only worse)
I withstood the taste using a bit of honey (touch the spoon into honey, then out- 1/8th tsp?) which cancels out the horrific taste... but I was ‘burping paint thinner’ for hours. (good thing I’m strong-willed, or maybe just crazy:~)
I was also taking Oreganol P73; that is amazing also!
Now, due to this awful pandemic, I’m starting to take both again...
along with vitamin D3, 13 grams of vitamin C, Zinc lozenges etc... and a sugar-free 😒... green diet. This virus is about your immune system...
I’m hoping to have cheesecake for my birthday in November! 🙂

Thanks so much! Could you pls clarify with the slow breathing that you mentioned, first do i need to really maximise the lung with air, second do i need to hold that breath for some counts ( to allow more oxygen time to get to the blood) before exhaling?
Your breath carries your spirit.. re spira tion. Spire stands for spirit. You enter the world on an inhale and you leave on an exhale and in between those a whole life is lived. Breath work has the ability to change your life. You can release trauma through breath work. How amazing in a time where awareness is so needed, the issue we are facing is respiratory and as a result, people are drawn to breath work.
I agree Missy Sterling. Patrick
