Thank you Fonty. Breathing thru either my chest or abdomen would be better. When I breathe, I breathe in thu both my chest and abdomen, and they push, or go against each other (they are paradoxical) I don't know why I breathe this way. I always sigh, like I can't catch my breath, and sometimes, in the summer the most on humid days, I start to panic a little about not breathing, and then I start to hyperventilate because I feel as though I am not breathing. Then I get all of those symptoms. My older sister has been trying to help me learn to breathe right by reminding. I'm not sure how to breathe thru just my chest, but I am breathing thru my abdomen pretty good, when I think about it. Thank you very much. I did get a burst of energy twice today, so maybe it is already clearing. Have you started another fast yet? You said a couple days ago that you were considering starting one on Friday - I think friday.
