Like and 8 to 9 on theain scale...as a result I m breathing very shallowly and am worried about this. I m a 45 year old woman with chronic pain from degenerative arthritis in my neck, sacrum and hips, herniated disk in lower back and hashimotos disease controlled with thyroid meds but with a goiter...

Hi, thank you for giving a brief history of you. As you mentioned you have an issue with the deep breathing, and also you have Arthritis issue. I request you to try doing simple neck exercises initially. Then proceed onto slow costal breathing exercises and pursed lip breathing exercises. Later on proceed onto abdominal breathing. Lastly try performing deep breathing as well. Respiratory system is of mere importance and shouldn't be avoided in any case by anyone. Also meeting a pulmonologist will be of utmost importance and help. He might ask for the MRI or CT of lungs which will help assess the status of the lung tissues. After the exercise of breathing, which is you don't find easier than meet up a physical therapist. For your pain in the arthritic regions a therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy will be used which will help ease of pain. Now since you have Arthritis of neck, lower back, sacrum and hips. You need to focus on doing regular slow free exercises for all of these joints. Once the muscle starts adapting to movements and get strength, proceed onto the next level by core strengthening exercises. Any form of exercise performed will give an add-on to your strength in muscle, balance the oxygen saturation levels in blood, improve the cardio respiratory endurance, improve the metabolism and importantly boost your immune system. Balancing the metabolism in the body is important to control the fluctuations of the thyroid levels. For any further help always a physician and a physical therapist is a close by. A close visit and getting assessed again will help you get the maximum output. I have seen many cases of such, and out of that 90% have been helped with exercises. Patients under me who have performed for 12-24 weeks have got a big change and then regular modification and assessment have helped to plan the next level. Due to the shallow breathing you might consume more of your energy which will make you feel fatigue and tired soon. So rehabilitation of the Pulmonary system stays at utmost importance. With the grace of God I wish you a blessed health
