I'm not sure exactly what your question is, but I did find what seems to be a good website on Unbalanced Dysfunctional Breathing. I'll post the link: http://www.breathing.com/articles/udb.htm\n\nAlso you mentioned something about sleep apnea. This is a disorder in which you stop breathing while you are sleeping for a period of somewhere between 10 secs and 1 min before you breath again. If you want more information about this you can go to the forum: \nhttp://www.cpaptalk.com\nand they will help you out. \n\nI hope this helps. Good luck.

Sleep is an important function of the body.  Do not use meth, i have seen many who have and now visit my ER with psych problems. The b vitamins are good to help u maintain alertness, B 12 is often deficient in people who are chronically tired.  Be cautious of caffeine and effedra and many other stimulates, they can cause anxiety, hart burn, high blood pressure and a rapid hart rate.

Agree with the above posters and also add that in your bedroom, you should have NO carpet, or vacuum a lot!  Your bedding needs to be changed frequently and your mattress vacuumed to get out the 'dust mites'.  Down Comforters/Pillows are usually a no go with Asmtha sufferers because of the dust, but there are some really good comforters out there that are ok for Asthmatics.. just haave to clean them regularly is all :)  \n\nMost Asthmatics I know can't have Cats, dogs and yes, even birds - especially birds (and their dust) can irritate your lungs.

Get seen by a doctor, it cant be diagnosed here!  If you have an expiratory wheeze then chances are it is asthma...but there are many other  conditions which affect breathing...;

No one really knows.  However, less than 30 years ago doctors did think it was "all in the head", and that asthma attacks were anxiety attacks. While anxiety can bring on a severe asthma attack, an asthma attack can be caused by many other factors, including allergies, smoke, smog, cold air and food allergies.\nRN

Well, let me tell you what I know about asthma.\n\nWhat causes it?  Allergies can trigger it...Many triggers include, dust, dander from animals, pollen, leaf mold, dust mites and I read that roach pooh can trigger it. (UGH)\n\nMy youngest daughter had asthma and outgrew by age 5.\n\nMy oldest daughter began experiencing symptoms when she was eleven. (shortness of breath and wheezing, especially upon exertion) She is 31 years old now and has lots of problems with it. She has been hospitalized several times in the last few years with it. She uses a puffer. Her Dr prescribed her meds for a nebulizer. For her birthday --I bought her a nebulizer.\n\nSeveral of my grandchildren had problems with wheezing when they were infants.\n\nI didn't experience problems with shortness of breath and wheezing until I quit smoking about 6 years ago. I smoked for over thirty years. I have COPD but I also have asthma. \nWith the asthma I experience shortness of breath. Even getting ready to go to work can leave me breathless, at times. When I have overexerted myself, I wheeze. I experience thses symptoms every day.\n\nPeople who bath in perfume or aftershave really tear my lungs up. I get wheezy after a few minutes of inhaling the mess.\n\nWhen the wind blows, dust and allergens send my lungs into a tail spin. Sometimes extremes in temperature affect me too.\n\nI am on  Zyrtec (for allergies), Spiriva (a steroid dry powder inhaler), Advair (another dry powder steroid inhaler), Prednisone (a steroid) and I also have a nebulizer to use when I am having a really rough time.\n\nSometimes emotions and stress can affect Asthma.\n\nThey use to say that asthma wasn't that serious but now they know different. A person can die with a serious attack. \n\nIf you suspect that you, or any person in your family has asthma, Go to a Dr. Only your GP or a pulmonologist can gauge the seriousness of your condition and prescribe medications to alleviate your symptoms and make life a bit easier for you.\n\nTake Care,\n~Linda~

Medicne is necessary to control Asthama,  Once it is controlled you can prevent it by other methods without Medicine.  Asthma is allergic manifestation of the respiratory system.

Sleep apnea is a disorder that can cause hypertension and heart disease. About 15 -20 million americans have this problem and sometimes it is due to obesity. So how to cure it? There is a special therapy you can have where you wear a special mask that delivers continued airflow thus preventing you from those short spans of time that you would be holding your breath.\n\nAre you taking meds for the asthma? Always make sure to have your inhaler on hand and whatever you do dont carry around an empty one just in case you have an attack.\n\nAllergies? I have been doing alot of reading on the internet about how to combat this problem and it is becoming more and more convincing that going raw foodist is the very best thing anyone can do even if they have no allergies.Part of the allergy problem stems from all the corrupted foods that we eat.\n\nLactose Tolerant simply means that your stomach is unable to break down the proteins in the milk properly therefore you become all bloated and gassy...when you go raw food, milk products are one of the first things to go so you wouldnt even need to take those special pills that are available when you know you will be consuming anything dairy.\n\nHope this helped and hoping you a healthy long life...

I have the same problem - No one has mentioned "environment" (that I saw?) - It's now Spring - What kind of climate do you live in? I'm in CO - and the Humidity today was 8% (Yes, EIGHT percent) - but "cold" so the heater was blasting all night ... so dry air effects me as well as lack of moisture that comes with higher humidity...\n\nOption #2) - Do you take Tylenol PM (or any antihistamines?) - For whatever reasons - these too dry out my eyes (well, B/C they're a type of antihistamine)\n\nOption #3) - People have already mentioned allergies... and alcohol - May wanna check with an allergist about down pillows, or Spring hay fever - or even "mold" if you are in a northern climate, and the windows are sealed - I found my "allergies" were worse in the winter than summer, and never understood this since all plants/trees/weeds and such are "dead" (dormant) - well, turns out Mold in the air ducts was the cause... \n\nIf you go to a Doc, and tell him about using "Clear Eyes" or "Visine" - those too have a "rebound effect" and he'll (she'll) encourage you to go to "natural tears" for the others' can CAUSE red eyes after long term use... But I too still use them, cuz "natural tears" don't remove the red - and don't wanna look hung over at work - When I'm NOT! LOL \n\nCheers and good luck!
