I just wanted to share this in case it might help others on here. I’ve struggled for decades with anxiety - and about three years ago developed PTSD following serious illness. I have spent such a long time trying to find things that help (medication didn’t work for me - in fact it made me worse).
Recently I’ve been seeing more and more things online about the Vagus Nerve and breathing techniques connected to the Vagus Nerve. I saw this YouTube video last night and thought it might be of interest to other people on here who struggle with anxiety.
If you search on YouTube : Vagus Nerve Reset - Quickly stop stress and anxiety
its by a YouTube channel called YOGABODY
He demonstrates the Valsalva (I might have spelled that wrong ) technique that they apparently use in Emergency Rooms in the U.S to lower peoples heart rate.
I’ve also found other Vagus Nerve breathing techniques on YouTube that really do seem to help me.
I just thought I’d put this on here in case it might help anyone else who struggles with panic and anxiety.
