How do I breathe quietly through my nose?

Disc@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 85 points –

I hate deep breathing/diaphragm breathing around others, it's loud enough for them and they always ask if I'm angry, upset etc. How do I breathe quieter while still having it be deep?

If your normal breathing is really that audible, it might be worth checking with a doctor. You could have something going on, even as simple as a deviated septum or something like that.

Either a deviated septum or nasal polyps.

Depending on how the original poster gets their health care (either by referral or direct outreach), they will want to find a good Otolaryngologist.

I had the same issue. The problem got so bad that I temporarily lost my ability to smell. Two surgeries later and I’m a-ok.
