You should focus on your breathing pattern as this may help in improving your health. You should take slow, even breaths and when exhaling, put your lips together.

Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT)

ACBT helps to increase the amount of air that reaches the lungs.  The technique involves taking a deep breath and exhaling it forcefully. The cycle is repeated.

Finding Comfortable Position

Comfortable position helps to make breathing easy. You should lie with your knees bent or by placing a pillow under your knees. Also, avoid lying flat on the back.

Controlling your Breathing

Breathing exercises also involve controlling your breathing. You should breathe in slowly through the nose and breathe out through the mouth. Also, try to relax your shoulders. This helps to make you feel better. With regular practice, you start to breathe more deeply and slowly.
