-Breaking the Dyspnea Cycle-
When you start having trouble breathing, it’s normal to get anxious, tense up and develop more shortness of breath. This pattern is commonly called the Dyspnea Cycle, which can result in a downward spiral that can affect your health.
In the Breathe Easier Program we can help you understand the Dyspnea Cycle, teach you how to break its chains, and manage your life better.
