Do breathing exercises make you feel anxious? Learn why your body might react with panic instead of calm during breathwork.

Many people turn to breathing exercises for stress relief or to manage daily anxiety, only to find the experience causes more distress. This video explains the physiological and psychological reasons why certain techniques can trigger a fight-or-flight response in some individuals, turning a helpful practice into a source of panic during breathing.

We will examine the common mistakes that lead to breathwork discomfort and how your nervous system interprets specific patterns of air intake. By understanding these mechanisms, you can identify which methods to avoid and how to approach somatic regulation without inducing unwanted physical symptoms.

Subscribe for weekly nervous system health breakdowns, and let me know in the comments if you have ever felt worse after trying a relaxation technique.
