Breathlessness natural remedies Breathlessness is never a disorder in itself and there is usually nothing you can do to remedy it directly. It is always a symptom of some other disorder or disease, and what you should do is visit a doctor for a diagnosis. Most disorders and diseases will have multiple symptoms, so in addition to breathlessness, there will be other indications that will help your doctor determine specifically what the problem is.
Common causes of breathlessness include pneumonia, asthma, bronchitis, lung cancer or cancer of the larynx or pharynx, a variety of heart disorders, broken ribs, anxiety attacks, and even obesity.
In the case of the last two, you may be able to handle the problem on your own. However, as you can some, some of the possibilities are extremely serious, so it is best to get a proper medical diagnosis.
If it turns out that the problem is simply obesity itself, you will need to lose weight of course. However, do not do this in a hurry, as it could lead to other problems. Maintain a healthy, balanced diet, and exercise regularly, gradually building up from light to more strenuous workouts. Avoid crash diets and never do something like entirely cutting out fat from your diet. If the problem is anxiety or panic attacks, you should avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco. In general, try to stay calm and see things in perspective. Understand that the apprehensive, tense feeling will pass, just like any other emotion or experience. You can also try techniques like meditation or yoga to help you relax.
