Re: Trouble with Fast Breaths

I'm also an asthmatic, although not severely so. I sometimes find myself running out of air. When this happens I do a breath-holding exercise that I learned years ago when I did a lot of diving. I mostly do it while driving. I just take a full breath and hold it until I start to get uncomfortable and then hold it a bit longer. Not until you go blue, just to the edge of your comfort level. Over the course of a week or so I can improve my time by perhaps 30%, and this is reflected in my playing. It works for me, your mileage may vary.
