However, in a normal scenario, your oxygen level in blood should be around 95-100%. For patients with COPD or other lung issues, the oxygen level should be around 88-92%. Oxygen level under 88% is dangerous in any case for body organs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However here is a deep explanation, how to get rid of breath shortness in normal scenarios<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">While sitting lean forward<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sit on the chair while your feet are flat on the floor and lean forward. Put your hands under your chin and elbows on your knees. Your shoulder muscles and neck should be relaxed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Put your head on a table while sitting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sit on the chair with your feet flat on the floor. Put your hands on the table and lean your chest forward. Put your head either on your arms or pillow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use supported back while standing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes your breathing easier. Stand still, attach your hips, and back at the wall gently. Dangle the arms in front of thighs while your feet and hands are wide apart. Relax your shoulder and lean forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relaxed posture while sleeping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people experience breathing issues at night, leading to insomnia. To avoid this elevated you head while sleeping and bent the knees, with a pillow underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diaphragmatic breathing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Put your feet flat on the ground while sitting on the chair. Relax your, shoulders, and neck. Put your one hand on your stomach and breath and through your nose breath slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exhale through your pursed lips and while tightening your muscles.  Your belly moves inward. Focus on exhaling more than inhaling. Do this for 5 minutes at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pursed lips breathing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This ejects the air trapped in the lungs. Relax your neck head and shoulders. Inhale through your nose. Make pursed lips during the air exhaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Intake of caffine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some studies have depicted that&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/20091514\" target=\"_blank\" data-lasso-id=\"123\">caffeine<\/a>&nbsp;intake can help in breathing in asthmatic patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stand with supported arms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Relax your head neck and shoulders. Put your feet wide apart on the floor and lean forward while putting 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 allergens<\/li><li>Don&#8217;t be out of shape<\/li><li>Avoid overexertions<\/li><li>Avoid tobacco intake<\/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>Pain in the chest<\/li><li>Medical emergency<\/li><li>Terminal illness and <a aria-label=\"breathing issue (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/324429\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\" data-lasso-id=\"124\">breathing issue<\/a><\/li><li>Experiencing wheezing<\/li><li>Difficulty breathing while lying flat<\/li><li>Frequent shortness of breath<\/li><li>Troubled breathing at night leading to insomnia<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/home-treatments-for-shortness-of-breath#Overview\" data-lasso-id=\"125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/home-treatments-for-shortness-of-breath#Overview<\/a> for pictures attachment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many ways you can get rid of your shortness of breath.
