What about my medication and other treatments?
You can continue other treatment while also applying the Buteyko Method. As you master the breathing exercises, you learn to stop the onset of certain symptoms such as wheezing, blocked nose, breathlessness, fatigue and anxiety. People report that symptoms cease or occur less frequently and they need less medication. B.I.B.H. practitioners follow the Asthma Foundation guidelines of relieving medication as needed and preventative medication as prescribed. Asthmatics generally find that they need to use much less bronchodilator or symptom relieving medication within a few days but are requested not to change their preventative medication without consulting a doctor.
