      2. Hi again, HITE1955, and thanks for sharing your diagnostic test result comparison with the community. It sounds like you are feeling much better about the current results.

        Keep up the good work! We appreciate your feedback.

        Warmly,

    2. The problem as I interpret it, you have too much air in your lungs. Try controlled breathing three or four times a day. Pursed lips, to clear the CO2 out of your lungs.
      Also work on some upper body exercises to let your other muscles do some of the work.
      Being calm helps. Don't breathe so hard and take the pursed lip process seriously. It will help you relax.
      I recommend a pulmonary rehab program.

      1. I have this problem alot too. I just feel like I am running out of breath will I speak. I kind of gasp for air, finally I just quit talking.
