Question

I've been doing diaphragmatic breathing regularly and I'm wondering if it's actually beneficial. What should be considered a normal breathing pattern? Is it more common to do chest breathing, diaphragmatic breathing, or is there another method I should know about? I'm a bit confused and would love some guidance.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I did an RTPCR test for COVID and it came back negative, but I'm still having trouble with wheezing in my chest and some coughing for about 45 days now. I don't have a fever or other symptoms, and the breathing difficulty isn't too bad, but the wheezing is definitely there. I have asthma and normally use my Serflo 250 inhaler only around 10-15 times a year. Just recently, about 5 days ago, I had a really bad allergy attack. I'm not sure what to make of all this. What should I do?

Question

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a persistent cough for the past two months. I've tried different treatments allopathic, ayurvedic, and homeopathic, but nothing seems to provide relief. It gets particularly bad whenever I'm near an air conditioner. Could you help me understand what's going on or suggest anything else I should try?
