My partner of many years can’t/won’t breathe through her mouth. What the hell! It’s driving me to despair trying to talk her out of damn near suffocating because she has a blocked nose. She’s always struggled when she has a blocked nose - complains of struggling to breath - but it’s only just dawned on me all she’s doing is sniffling through a blocked nose then exhaling. Can’t talk her round it and can’t quite make sense of it. Complains ‘too much air’ if she tries breathing through her mouth.
Any one experience similar? Advice? Humour welcome, I’m fed up.
I find it really hard to breath through my mouth unless exercising. Not matter how bad my nose is blocked even when I've had it broken breathing through my mouth is wierd. Saying that I do another sometimes but wake up coughing so can't do it even in sleep.
I'll breathe in through my mouth out out through my nose no bother when swimming, but out of the water it's not going to happen.
Glad to hear she’s not the only one.
People naturally breath through their nose, it’s what it’s there for! ‘Mouthbreathers’ is used as a term of abuse for a reason. My g/f has a psychological issue with blowing her nose if it gets blocked, but I’ve got her into using a Sinex to clear it.
I’m familiar with the term mouthbreather - it comes from too much of that making your breath smell bad. But i figured we could all voluntarily breathe through our mouth when needed.
It’s painful to watch but clearly not something she can overcome - it’s like watching someone having a panic attack and wanting to yell at them ‘just breath normally’. Obviously not gonna help.
The nose / nares, warm, moisten & filter the air, so technically a better system than the mouth until you need a volume increase. Nowt like a mouth breathed fly to make you wretch though.
Love to see all the mouth breather as an insult people do anything proper physical with their lips stapled together and not fall on the floor...
****in hell! Bloody Snowflakes. Now they need help learning how to breathe. I'm sure there will be an App for that soon. (and probably a shop in Shoreditch selling Breatherite products made out of some kinda sustainable mexican hardwood.)
Do i now have to put up with beardy types wearing floppy hats in my local pub all claiming that they were into breathing before it became cool?
Jesus wept!
Sorry...... It's been a funny old day.

Bugger!......... That's my 15 minutes on Dragons Den up the spout!
I have absolutely no clue how people can breath through their noses - feels completely unnatural to me and feels like I'm suffocating if I try. Maybe I just have small sinuses or giant bogies.

Maybe you shouldn't give up hope yet.
Maybe you can still become a legend by stapling your lips together and talking out of your arse.
Not an insult to you BTW.😉
oooooookkkkkaaaaaayyyyyyy!......
You OK hun?
😘Fine cheers hun.

Anyone tried the 4-7-8 breathing exercise to fall asleep in 30 seconds?
Anyone tried the Graeme Obree way of breathing? I tried - a bit - but found it too hard/weird.
I do use a self hypnosis thing using controlled breathing to help get to sleep, it does work, feels kind of like shutting down a computer before turning it off.
Oh and not being able to breath with both mouth and nose (I think) is a little strange, although I only learnt to control my breathing when exercising in my late twenties but I blame that on having asthma as a kid.
Surely just hold her nose for about 5 minutes. It’ll be kill or cure, but I’d give her good odds for surviving.
Riding I breathe through my mouth but some have said it's better to breathe in through nose.
I nose breathe mostly though and a lot of articles promote breathing in through nose as more efficient and as a filter. Some say breathing out through nose slows the exhale and maximises the oxygen extraction as apparently it occurs more on the exhale.
Never heard of nosebreather or mouth breather.
Anyway it’s an autonomic nervous system thang so just let it do it’s thing.

Ahh harsh but If your a runner or triathlete, men’s health/fit , cyccalist type of person your probably going to be reading weird stuff as there’s only so much content they can churn up when there’s not much meat on the bone to start with.

Bless your wee cottons, I didn’t realise my, chosen in a rush when i’d just been watching Legend racing cars, username upset you so much. If you want you can report me and ask the mods to change it to something that doesn’t upset you?

TBH I'm not sure I'll ever get over what a total stranger on the internet chose to call himself.😜
It does seem that way
Decongestant nasal spray and get her practicing. Breathing through mouth isn't right...mouth dries out very quickly...through nose is right so get something to help unblock it.
