>>3608526Now that I took my time to read the OP (I just initially jumped in to reply to some poster) I read this:
>earn to control your heart rate and physiology by controlling your BREATH.Which is curious because recently learned about how to unclog my nostrils very rapidly, like in 30 seconds or less, by doing a very simple breath exercise that you can do almost without thinking it. I deduced it from what I learned about breathing and oxygen absorption by the tissues from the bloodstream by practicising the Wim Hof method.
It is very satisfying, to work out a way in which you get to directly control functions of your body that you often assume are out of your control.
The science of it apparently is that when your nostrils clog it usually means you are BREATHING TOO MUCH, and they produce inflammation to reduce the air entry. If you get in and out too much air you are getting rid of too much CO2, which is what the blood NEEDS for the oxygen it holds to reach the tissues. If you get rid of the CO2 you ASPHYXIATE, which is exactly what happens when you are hyperventilating.
So what is the solution to not being able to breathe? To breathe less!
I was mind blown when I realized this, that I had to do the opposite of what my instinct told me and then I'd be able to breathe normally after a while. But it just works. Just breathe slower and your nose will work perfectly. When your nose is clogged trying to breathe harder just makes it worse, you have to listen and understand what the body is trying to tell you by doing that.
I personally do seven seconds of holding the position after exhalation and inhalation, and in two or three sets I can breathe perfectly and I'm far more calmed.
