Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.6 – How Acute Distress Affects Breathing and Heart Rate: When distress hits, your breathing often speeds up, and your heart follows. This fast breathing can make you feel lightheaded or dizzy, which adds more fear. Your body is trying to get oxygen ready for a quick escape, even though there’s no real threat. By slowing your breath, you can actually slow your heart too. Breathing deeply tells your brain the danger has passed, helping your system return to balance. With practice, you’ll notice how controlling your breath changes how your body feels. Simple breathing techniques can stop panic from spiraling higher. It’s a skill you can carry anywhere—quietly powerful and always available. Over time, this awareness helps you catch distress before it peaks.
