  • Abstract:
  • The purpose of this study was to Analyse the Impact on Alternate nostril breathing on improving respiratory function, reducing Anxiety and stress in hyperventilation syndrome during pregnancy. Hyperventilation syndrome is a common condition in pregnancy, characterized by rapid breathing, dizziness, and palpitations. Alternate nostril breathing, a yogic breathing technique, has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. This Randomized controlled trail aimed to investigate the impact of alternate nostril breathing on respiratory function, to reduce the anxiety and stress in pregnant women with hyperventilation syndrome. 20 pregnant women with hyperventilation syndrome were recruited for this study. Participants were randomly assigned to either an alternate nostril breathing group or a control group. The alternate nostril breathing group practiced the technique for 10 minutes, 3 times a day, for 6 weeks. Respiratory function (forced expiratory volume, forced vital capacity,) Anxiety and stress (perceived stress scale) were assessed at baseline for 3 weeks, and 6 weeks. The alternate nostril breathing group showed significant improvements in respiratory function and Anxiety and stress compared to the control group. Alternate nostril breathing is a simple, non-invasive, and effective technique for improving respiratory function and Anxiety and stress in pregnant women with hyperventilation syndrome.
