    Anyone for yoga?

    When I first started with Yoga I almost gave up, as I found the pain nearly unbearable after a few simple stretching exercises. I was then advised to take it really easy and gradually build up my strength. So, I did the recommended poses ever so gently and focused on my breathing. It took me a...

    shortness of breath, fast heart rate?

    Fibromyalgia but with mild pain

    I'm really struggling in trying to figure out my condition. I have chronic muscle tension, particularly around the torso, on the respiratory and neck muscles. The muscle spasm in the diaphragm and intercoastal (rib) muscles have considerably restricted my breathing, which aggravates the...
