Wow, thanks so much you two for that advice, I think it's exactly what i needed to hear. I have tried hypnosis(i have a couple blogs about what i've done on here). It really helps me more with the heart rate as far as i can tell. I'm going to spend some time getting comfortable with each type of hold, like you said, to get used to the different changes. I'll also work with a cold towel if that is all it takes, i'm very much about safety so thanks!
It's gonna take me a while to be able to take a quick deep breath(like you said, an audible breath). My diapragm has been spasming for a few months now and is almost unbearable to sneeze, or take that deep breath, even yawning is tough. I'll start stretching easily and incorporate some different relaxation methods to help. Thanks again folks, I can't thank you enough.
