Using the chest muscles rather than the diaphragm for breathing can cause inefficient air exchange, and muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, leading to fatigue and stress.
Breathing more rapidly or deeper than necessary can lead to a decrease in carbon dioxide levels in the blood, causing dizziness, lightheadednes and anxiety.
Holding breath disrupts the natural rhythm of breathing, leads to an imbalance in oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, causing dizziness, headaches, and increased stress on the body.
