However, in a normal scenario, your oxygen level should be around 95-100%. In the case of COPD or other lung issues, the oxygen level must be around 88-92%. <a href=\"https:\/\/PulseOximeterhelp.com\/what-is-pulse-oximetry\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Oxygen level in your blood (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\" data-lasso-id=\"119\">Oxygen level in your blood<\/a> under 88% is dangerous for body organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However here is a deep explanation, how to get rid of shortness of breath in normal cases<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lean forward while sitting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sit on the chair with your feet flat on the floor. Lean forward a bit on your chair. This posture will relax your body. Put your hands under your chin and your elbows on your knees. Make sure that your shoulder muscles and neck are relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">While sitting, put your head on a table<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sit on the chair with your feet flat on the floor. Lean your chest forward. Put your hands on the table. You can either put your head on your arms or pillow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stand, with a, supported back<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Standing with supported back at the wall can also make your breathing easier. Stand and attach your hips and back at the wall gently. Your hands should rest on your thighs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Moreover, your hands and feet should be wide apart. Dangle your arms in front of you. Lean a bit forward and relax your shoulder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relaxed sleeping posture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people experience shortness of breath during sleep and wake up suddenly. To avoid this. Make sure that you are elevated while sleeping and your knees bent, with a pillow underneath<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diaphragmatic breathing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sit in the chair, with your feet flat on the ground. Relax your neck, shoulders,and neck. Put your one hand on your belly and breath gradually through your nose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exhale through your pursed lips and tighten your muscles during that. You will feel every movement under your hand. Your belly moves inward. Focus on exhaling more than inhaling. Do this for at least 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pursed lips breathing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This expels the air trapped in your lungs. Relax your neck head and shoulders. Breathe in through your nose. Make pursed lips and exhale the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caffeine intake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Early studies showed that <a aria-label=\"caffeine (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/20091514\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\" data-lasso-id=\"120\">caffeine<\/a> intake can help in breathing with asthmatic patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stand with supported arms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Relax your shoulder neck and head. Put your feet wide apart on the floor. Lean forward a bit and put your hands on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changes in your life style<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Quit smoking <\/li><li>Avoid tobacco intake<\/li><li>Avoid allergens<\/li><li>Don&#8217;t be out of shape<\/li><li>Avoid overexertions<\/li><li>Take enough sleep and eat\/drink healthy<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When to visit doctor?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Chest pain<\/li><li>Medical emergency<\/li><li>Terminal illness and breathing issue<\/li><li>Frequent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/324429\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"shortness of breath\u2028 (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\" data-lasso-id=\"121\">shortness of breath<\/a><\/li><li>Troubled breathing at night leading to insomnia<\/li><li>Experiencing wheezing<\/li><li>Difficulty breathing while lying flat<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many ways you can get rid of your shortness of breath.
