Do you frequently feel "spaced out" or find it

hard to concentrate at work?

Do you sometimes feel breathless or experience

anxiety for no apparent reason?

Do doctors tell you there s nothing wrong, even

though they can t explain your symptoms? Have

they suggested that you might be a hypochondriac?

Has your self-confidence taken a nose dive?

You are not alone. Twelve percent of Americans suffer from

some degree of hyperventilation syndrome, a little-known and

rarely discussed medical condition. Few mainstream doctors are

even aware of its symptoms, which can range from merely uncom-

fortable to virtually crippling, including frequent yawning, head-

aches, nightmares, chest pains, nausea, and sexual dysfunction.

The simple tests in this book will help you determine whether

your breathing habits are causing your problems. If so, the six-step

guide to B.E.T.T.E.R. breathing will help you recognize common

symptoms and apply effective, drug-free methods of overcoming

hyperventilation.
