so there's this guy on a forum. been breathing through his left nostril exclusively for 4 months. nasal dilator during the day. tapes his right nostril shut at night.
claims his resting heart rate dropped from 72 to 58. says his anxiety is gone. says his "vagal tone is elite."
right nostril = sympathetic. left nostril = parasympathetic. this is real. your body switches between them every few hours.
forcing left nostril breathing shifts you into rest mode. temporarily.
but permanently? no study exists.
what happens when your body fights back? chronic congestion? your nasal cycle just resetting itself while you sleep?
guy says he's never going back. says the mirror doesn't lie.
4 months in. no bloodwork. no before/after heart rate logs. just a man and his tape.
thoughts?
