@thepainnpchenlow: Pain Spike? Try This 60-Second Breathing Reset #painspike #chronicpain #exhale #thepainnp

JennAkage8 :

THIS WORKS. I like closing my eyes while I’m doing this so I concentrate on counting and my breathing. It gets your focus to shift

AlliYash50 :

Thank you for this suggestion! I definitely breathe faster and sometimes feel dizzy because of it. I will try this for my next flare.

Julia Irzyk ♿️ :

I do the long exhale for IV insertions. helps relax my arm and calm me down a little with the pain. the problem is I only have one good vein and once it's blown, we're done.

EmpressWoo :

Meditation trained my body to lengthen and deepen my breathing. When my body is moving into distress... I start breathing through my mouth before there is any sign of pain. My subconscious is signaling me to deepen and slow my breathing. 🙂💜

Lisa Neal697 :

when i am in pain.. my bp rise to 150 over 105. this was just last week. my body automatically breathes through the pain but the bp rate is alarming

🌼Nicola🌼 :

this is so true I used this method in labour and did it drug free, i learnt it from riding horses, if you fell off and tensed it hurt on impact, if you relaxed it didn't, this has also helped me living with Endometriosis

jimicat :

Yeah! So easy to tense up during a pain spike and start doing ‘Lamaze breathing’ and it doesn’t help so I will try to remain calm and breathe slowly

Nance :

does this work better than diaphragmatic breathing?

happyhippy71 :

I use my 5- 5 breath and a cold flannel in my vagus nerve. It doesn’t clear it but clears my head enough to deal.

Womanendo 🌸 :

This is so helpful, thanks for sharing! Pain spikes hit so hard, a quick reset like this is a lifesaver 💛 I log my pain intensity in the Endora app to keep track of what helps💝💝

SEAinChrist :

Thank you so very much. I’ve had cervical spine fusion in 2019 and am currently recovering fm a Lumbar Decompression Fusion l2-l3 and it’s been so difficult to endure this pain. I will use this method when a spasm occurs or overall pain increases. God bless you and may Him keep you all your days. ✨🫶🏽🙏🏽🤲🏽

Wendy💙 :

I’ll focus on this but I will have to lay down

🦋 Jessica 🦋 :

beautifulsoul :

Look what I did today a little stiff have some more to do but made me a journaling room on my sun porch so proud of myself 😀

Oldcrow60 :

I have a question Why do I vomit when my pain increases. I’ve had doctors say they’ve never heard of that.

Marcelle :

yes! this is a good and practical "tip" or "trick". howzat!

Lynne, Cathy’s BFF :

I do this when I’m trying to get to sleep.
