However, they must take certain prevention measures for their safety and may consult a qualified health professional to create a personalised exercise routine.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asthma is a chronic lung disorder. Depending on the severity, people may experience frequent to occasional breathing difficulties. Asthma also swollen and narrowed the airways, causing symptoms such as wheezing or coughing, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest area, trouble sleeping, and irregular breathing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When these symptoms become unbearable, making it very challenging for the person to maintain an average breathing rate, it is called an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/diseases\/respiratory\/asthma\/\"><b>asthma attack<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the condition is completely manageable. Seeking proper medical help, along with participating in activities such as healthy eating, exercising regularly, and stress management, will minimise the flare-ups and ease the symptoms to a great extent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To know more about dietary modifications and effective treatment plans for asthma, you may refer to our blog page. There, you will find valuable information on all of these aspects.

It&#8217;s good to take short breaks during these exercises, and it&#8217;s best to do them when you&#8217;re not short of breath or experiencing any other symptoms.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Alternate Nostril Breathing:<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To start this yogic breathing exercise, sit up comfortably and place your right hand near your face. Initially, close your right nostril with your thumb, followed by your index and middle fingers. Inhale through your left nostril for four seconds, then close it with your ring finger.
