A four-week program on a tablet aims to help patients breathe more smoothly so they get a better balance of oxygen and CO2.
People who suffer from panic attacks say it feels like you're losing control, having a heart attack, or even dying. The good news is that many doctors believe patients can find relief through treatment.
"Many of us, if we have panic or trauma or even just high-stress anxiety in our bodies, we tend to be hyper-vigilant in some way," said Charlotte Mulloy, a behavioral health coach who helps people with PTSD and panic disorder learn how to regulate breathing patterns."When we have vigilance in our body, our breath becomes vigilant too.
"You do two, 17-minute sessions a day and you have a tablet right in front of you providing feedback during those sessions," Mulloy said."The first two minutes is the opportunity just to sit down and get settled and be ready for your breathing session. Then, the next 10 minutes, they're actually listening to these tones that are in a very specific rhythm. And then, the last five minutes of the breathing session, the tones go away, but you sit there and practice.
"What really makes Freespira unique is our ability to provide treatment to patients directly at home," Perekupka said.
