Patients’ commentsThe exercises were described as being “Initially not a great advantage, but as the study continued I havebeen able to „breathe‟ myself out of many situations” “Extremely useful, even if it wasn‟t enough it gave the space towait be<strong>for</strong>e medicating without the desperate panicky feeling” “Not very useful. Symptoms mean shortness of breath, so deep,relaxed breathing is very difficult….”BUT the exercises were “No match <strong>for</strong> URTI, dust, vigorous exercise, animal response” “The exercises did not work when I had viral illnesses (e.g. cold,sinusitis) or when I was doing „dusty‟ housework”
When asked if they would use theexercises in futureFor mild symptoms, 86% would try theexercises firstFor moderate symptoms, 52% would try theexercises first followed by relieverif there was insufficient effectFor severe symptoms, 0% would try theexercises first
