Diaphragmatic breathing is generally safe for most people, including cancer patients. However, it's important to consider the following:
- Physical Limitations: Some patients may have physical limitations or discomfort due to their treatment or condition. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new breathing exercises. - Dizziness: If you feel dizzy or lightheaded while practicing diaphragmatic breathing, stop the exercise and return to normal breathing. - Consistency: Regular practice is key to obtaining the benefits, but patients should start slowly and gradually increase the duration.
