Pranayama: Blocked lungs |
| Posted: 29 Jun 2021 06:56 PM PDT I have been working on this problem for years-has anyone else experienced this? Often, throughout the day or when practicing, my lungs get partially constricted. I'm almost certain that what is happening is that the smooth muscle surrounding part of the bronchioles is tightening just in one or a few lobes or parts of lobes. So I can't get air into that part on the inhale, regardless of what I do with the diaphragm, intercostals, etc. Which is pretty unpleasant. And periodically it suddenly opens and air rushes in. Which feels great for a few breaths. Sometimes I can focus just right inside the lungs and get it to open, sometimes not. Slowing the breath helps a little, as does adding a little squeeze with the internal abdominals on the exhale, but neither make a lasting change. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I posted this before but got no responses and just got a notice that it was removed because I just joined reddit that day. So I don't know if you got to see it or not. Apologies if it's a repeat! And feel free to remove again. [link] [comments] |
