• Abnormal breathing can cause added problems for Asthmatics.
• Researchers at the University of Aberdeen have found that a significant number of sufferers have symptoms exacerbated by "abnormal" breathing - and that this was improved by simple breathing exercises.
• According to Dr Mike Thomas, the lead author of the study and a GP from Stroud, breathing problems are complicating Asthma and making it harder for drugs to control.
• "I noticed that many people referred for poorly controlled Asthma - where they had persistent symptoms despite drug treatment - often showed abnormal breathing".
• Thomas believes this "constellation of symptoms" is frequently caused by dysfunctional or abnormal patterns of breathing - estimated to affect 10% of the population. ...
• Several factors are thought to contribute: using the chest wall muscles rather than the diaphragm, hyper-ventilation (over breathing), an irregular respiratory rate and irregular depth of breath.
• An earlier study by Thomas (published in the British Medical Journal) involving 300 of his patients found that a third of women and a fifth of men showed symptoms of dysfunctional breathing.
• Forty patients with both Asthma and dysfunctional breathing were divided into two groups - one had Asthma education from an Asthma nurse. ...

• In the past many Asthmatics were treated using breathing exercises, but with the advent of drug-based treatments, this approach fell out of fashion. "It's possible that we may, after all, have been doing people good with these techniques, and may now have come full circle", says Thomas, who hopes to establish a basis for breathing exercises within an orthodox NHS setting. ...

• How can this breathing be learned? Before attempting to combine them - that is to say before we can achieve in one single, smooth and continuos movement complete and easy filling of the lungs, thereby supplying them with reviving air, and expanding the pulmonary alveoli (all 70 million of them) - we must learn to dissociate the three phases. First of all we practice breathing from the diaphragm. DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING In order to learn to breathe correctly from the diaphragm - easily completely and naturally - it is wise to practice it lying down, since it is then easier to relax the muscles of the abdominal wall, which serve to hold us upright when we are sitting or walking. ... Having completely emptied the lungs and held the breath for a few seconds, you will soon realize that your breathing is attempting to start up on its own - therefore relax your stomach and allow the breath to flow. ... People believe, often in all good faith, that they are "breathing from the stomach", because they are flexing their abdominal muscles. ... If you do not hear yourself breathing it means that your respiration has acquired the correct slowness. ... While this is going on, place the other hand against one side so that you can ensure that the ribs remain completely still, and so realize that the abdominal and thoracic breathing are completely separate. ... While you breathe in the breathing and your diaphragm will be forced to flatten and your stomach to expand. While you are breathing in, you should be conscious of what is going on in the warm depths of the thorax; you will soon find you are conscious of the movements of the diaphragm, and you will be able to separate the two phases and dispense with the belt. BREATHING FROM THE RIBS We are now going to learn thoracic or costal breathing. ... Throughout the inhalation you should keep the stomach contracted in order to prevent any breathing through the diaphragm.
