🫁 COPD TIP: The 4-7-8 Breathing Technique for Anxiety Relief

When COPD symptoms flare up, anxiety often follows.

Try this simple breathing exercise:

1️⃣ Inhale quietly through your nose for 4 seconds
2️⃣ Hold your breath for 7 seconds (or as long as comfortable)
3️⃣ Exhale completely through pursed lips for 8 seconds

This technique activates your parasympathetic nervous system, helping to calm anxiety while improving oxygen exchange.

Practice 2-3 times daily, especially before activities that typically cause breathlessness.
