Buteyko, holding your breath and a corneal transplant
Posted: Sat 06 Dec 2014 10:05 pm
Hi all,
I have asthma and have been looking into the Buteyko technique to help with this. The breathing exercises involve holding your breath, so I was just wondering do you think this would harm my eyes in anyway? I know you are not supposed to hold your breath post graft but does this continue throughout your lifetime? I have tried gently a few times, monitoring my eyes as I go. I am one year post graft on my right eye and 11 years post graft on my left eye.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! I do not want to harm my eyes in anyway.
Thank you so much
