A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Davvenport, FL

I had a heart attack in 2021 and have recently added cardio exercise to my daily walking exercise.

Breath! A Very Common Complaint Here Is Shortness Of Breath. We’ve All Been Breathing All Our Lives But How Much Do You Know About It?

A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Westminster, MD

My knowledge is from being an athlete, coach and a master of logic. One heart function is to deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide. Seems like the better the breath the lower the heart burden. Slow deep breathing is far more effective than fast shallow breath. As we sit at a desk, couch, bed or car we tend toward shallow breath. Try consciously breathing deeply and make it a habit.
