Managing your breathlessness booklet
Our booklet will provide you with practical advice and techniques to help you manage your breathlessness.
Living with breathlessness can be very distressing.
Breathlessness itself can lead to inefficient breathing patterns, reduced activity and fitness, as well as anxiety and panic.
Each of these effects can increase breathlessness, creating negative spirals of increasing breathlessness and distress.
