What can I do to lessen my shortness of breath?

1. Pursed-lip breathing
This is a simple way to control shortness of breath. It helps quickly slow your pace of breathing, which makes each breath deeper and more effective.
It also helps release air that’s trapped in your lungs. It can be used any time you’re experiencing shortness of breath, especially during the difficult part of an activity, such as bending, lifting objects, or climbing stairs.
To perform pursed-lip breathing:
1. Relax your neck and shoulder muscles.
2. Slowly breath in through your nose for two counts”Smell the flowers”, keeping your mouth closed.
3. Purse your lips as if you’re about to whistle.
4. Breath out slowly and gently through your pursed lips to the count of four.”Blow out the candles”

Sitting forward
Resting while sitting can help relax your body and make breathing easier.
1. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor, leaning your chest slightly forward.
2. Gently rest your elbows on your knees or hold your chin with your hands. Remember to keep your neck and shoulder muscles relaxed.
Sitting forward supported by a table.
If you have both a chair and table to use, you may find this to be a slightly more comfortable sitting position in which to catch your breath.
1. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor, facing a table.
2. Lean your chest slightly forward and rest your arms on the table.
3. Rest your head on your forearms or on a pillow.
Standing with supported back
Standing can also help relax your body and airways.
1. Stand near a wall, facing away, and rest your hips on the wall.
2. Keep your feet shoulder width apart, and rest your hands on your thighs.
3. With your shoulders relaxed, lean slightly forward, and dangle your arms in front of you.
Standing with supported arms
1. Stand near a table or other flat, sturdy piece of furniture that’s just below the height of your shoulder.
2. Rest your elbows or hands on the piece of furniture, keeping your neck relaxed.
3. Rest your head on your forearms and relax your shoulders.
6. Sleeping in a relaxed position

Many people experience shortness of breath while they sleep. This can lead to waking up frequently, which can diminish the quality and duration of your sleep.
Try lying on your side with a pillow between your legs and your head elevated by pillows, keeping your back straight. Or lie on your back with your head elevated and your knees bent, with a pillow under your knees.
Both of these positions help your body and airways relax, making breathing easier. Have your doctor assess you for sleep apnea, and use a CPAP machine if recommended.

Diaphragmatic breathing
Diaphragmatic breathing can also help your shortness of breath. To try this breathing style:
1. Sit in a chair with bent knees and relaxed shoulders, head, and neck.
2. Place your hand on your belly.
3. Breathe in slowly through your nose. You should feel your belly moving under your hand.
4. As you exhale, tighten your muscles. You should feel your belly fall inward. Breathe out through your mouth with pursed lips.
5. Put more emphasis on the exhale than the inhale. Keep exhaling for longer than usual before slowly inhaling again.
6. Repeat for about five minutes.
Using a fan.
Pointing a small handheld fan toward your face can help your symptoms.
Drinking coffee
A study indicates caffeine relaxes the muscles in the airways of people with asthma. This can improve lung function for up to four hours. Now don’t drink all day you could get dehydrated and/or increase heart rate.

When should i call my doctor or go to emergency department ?
