Shortness of Breath when Climbing Stairs 

This video is under-rated and underseen this information is so important to everyone. I know most people don't breathe correctly when going up the stairs. I live on the third floor. And no matter how many times I go up the stairs I never get used to it because I'm breathing so wrong. Thank you for giving me this tool. This information is very valuable.

Thanks for this, I didn't realize that I was holding my breath when walking up stairs, I did what you said and I had no problem going up 5 flights of stairs. Thanks :-)

Amazing Just unbelievable. I saw this video weeks ago but didn’t have the chance to try the exercise. Today I had no choice and found myself having to go up the stairs to the third floor of a building. And so I did exactly what you teach. To my surprise and amazement and for the first time in decades I didn’t run out of breath!!! I even felt energized and by the way I’m 72 years old and highly, highly recommend for anyone to try it ASAP. IM GRATEFUL TO YOU BECAUSE YOUR TEACHINGS ARE GOING TO LAST ME A LIFETIME. Gracias 🙏🏻

I have COPD and there is often real worry about climbing stairs. But it's something I have to do several times a day. Often I have to stop at the landing, especially when carrying something. There would be a bit of panic each and every time when I'd suffer shortness of breath. I've just tried this technique and it does help. Thank you.

Thanks for this. I will try this next time I climb the stairs. I have a lot of trouble on stairs because of bronchiectasis and chronic asthma. I hope this works for me. I also think that anyone who has this problem should be exercising their leg muscles as weak leg muscles and glutes can also make it harder to go up stairs.

We were so frustrated that we cannot find a ranch house that we can afford, I am having a hard time climbing our stairs so we thought a ranch style house will be the best. I have one functioning lung so I am using portable oxygen now. Yesterday I saw this video and I did it. Awesome, it works!!! Now we don’t need to move, we can stay in our house that we love so much. Thank you so much. ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks! I tried it today climbing 15 floors 3x, I've got to say it's a lot of breathing, because I'm climbing fast, so I switched to two step at a time, worked better! I wasn't as winded when I got to the 15th floor.

Your videos have been helpful and encouraging. You have a calming voice. Thank you, it is difficult and stressful sometimes when dealing with COPD.

Thanks for the info I would get out of breath after 3 flights of stairs and felt something was wrong cant wait to try this

It’s not enough just to say thank you ,but thank you a million times

Thank you for sharing this excercise, I need it.

Thank you so much. Much needed. God bless you.

Good Well explained clearly and simply...with a pleasant voice

I have just started with this problem and find these exercise great help Sandra northern ireland

Thank you for this, I breathe with my mouth open when I lose my breath climbing a flight of stairs I'll try to blow instead of huffing and puffing when climbing the stairs

That was impressive, I thought it was me having this problem but now I found out how to solve it..

Thousand thanks for such a beautiful advise.we did not realize sometimes good advise can be very helpful bcos of old age.older age can be a problem when climbing higher up.breathing in n out actually very good exercise.thanks a lot.

Thanks to your teachings, I was able to go up 325 plus steps without a problem. I say 325 because I lost track as I was halfway to the top. Keep in mind that this was: Denver, Colorado the mile high state. Besides I’m 72 years young Gracias I’m grateful to your teachings.

That is interesting. Would like to try it out next time I climb stairs. Thanks .

This technique really helps. Thank you so much

I'm going to try to do this when I go to school on Monday thanks

its working great. thank you so much.

Watching from Philippines, Rizal Province

We'll see how effective this is, I'm about 10 days away from the American Lung Ass. Climb 2011- 25 flights of stairs.

my legs always get sore feels like there going tight alsomething it hurts same feeling as lifting weights alot of biecp curls and you feel the burn and when it starts to.hurt i get really puffed out and tired could they hurt due to lack of oxygen all is it just lack of endurance and stamina ive running/walking up stairs for exerise i just dont understand how some people can run up and down all day like its nothing what am i doing wrong

Thankyou so much 💓 love from India 🇮🇳 💖 ❤️

The explanation is right but the demonstration seems a bit off - exhale when exerting to elevate, inhale when landing the other foot on the next step. Thanks for the video.

It really does help. Thank you

Thank you.

Very useful Video. Thanks

THANKS. It really help..

I feel short of breath, smoked a pack a day for 17 years and have been quit for one year. When at the gym climbing the stair-master, I use to be able to do 2000 steps in 30 min, now only able to do 1000 steps in 30min with a heart rate of 155 and oxymeter reading never going above 96% when before it use to easily be at 98% ☹

Wow this really works! Thank You!

What about climbing down the stairs? I need to know it. I have COPD. Thanks!

Didn’t work for me. Still felt like I was hyperventilating

Thank you

Eating outside 1 sweet then breathless increases more it starts happening after a chest pain near the heart . It happened 2 times and it is there for almost 24 hours. After eating 1 sweet I relaxed for 2 hours then I started climbing stairs

Thanks for sharing this info..

strange that neither my pulmonologist in Reno nor my respiratory therapist also in Reno never mentioned this technique...Are we that backward here???

My dad is starting to lose his breath easily and can barely talk. 😰😢😭😥😓

I have villa with three stairs and my bedroom right on top. When I climb 1 stair I am ok. With second star I am slightly short of breath and with 3rd stair I am very short of breath and I do have pain in my legs. What can be the cause Reply me soon Thanks Rims1

Thank you so much

Thanks you am going upto 4th floor without stopping

I am having shortness of breath n allergy in few years.. I want lose abdominal fat n thigh fat what exercises I can do to lose weight as I have breathing problems my age 36

Looks like hyperventilating to me. I'd pass out after the 2nd flight!

Why does this happen though?

What about coming down the stairs. Do you breathe differently?

I get lightheaded if I breath that fast. Too much oxygen is can cause that.

thanks

Why I feel hard breathing after taking few steps for walking?? Is there any technique to cure this condition???

Seems like a lot of breaths doing one every step. Maybe one every 3 stairs is plenty. Although this channel is called managing shortness of breath you might need more.

Gold 👍👍

I think you need to do your demonstration on the stairs much slower..no one breathes that fast?? or do they??!!

Seems like this technique would make you lightheaded 🤔

[Action required] point of break off with you and all connected persons.

Holy shit thanks :)

Question - inhale from nose and exhale from mouth as I see it, correct ?

Can't even walk up my stairs at home which is just 15 steps without being out of breath

I climbed on the mountain and it hurts

@kandycandy1 Good-luck

thank u 😃

Our janiter at work huffs and puffs for 3 minutes after climbing 1 flight! Hes 56 and got a big gut but. I joke with him he needs oxygen.

doesn't work for me

Thanks n ur beautiful

You're a princess, Madam,I really like you and also I have a beautiful feelings for you! Will you please marry me?

And then fall down the stairs because you’ve passed out. This is ignorant

only problem is, i inhale..............wait a few minutes............exhale, take a coffee break............inhale., take a nap..........exhale, do my nails............inhale, read the paper...........etc, etc, etc

you are beautiful
