I already posted here before,but the problem I have now is in the title.I can’t tell whether I’m actually inhaling with my nose or am I somehow using my neck muscles or upper chest to inhale.I looked around on the internet to figure it out,but am still confused.
I started doing Diaphragmatic breathing while lying down a week ago since I’ve been breathing with my upper chest my whole life + I have a deppressed ribcage and somebody told me I should try it,turns out it was harder than I thought.When i inhale,I eventually come to the point where I feel like inhaling more though I would need to use my upper chest to do so while the goal is both for my stomach and chest to move at the same time.So i exhale trough the mouth slowly,and at the midway I start feeling like suffocating,I get a strong urge to quickly inhale.I somehow exhale,but when I start inhaling again it’s like i need more and more air and It becomes imppossible to inhale fully without using my upper chest.I try to exhale again and I just start twitching and kinda shaking as I try to exhale slowly.After the 3rd time it becomes genuinrly impposible to do so anymore and I give up and try again later.
My question is,what the hell do I do? I can’t inhale normaly nor can I exhale normally? I really wanna do this
