3. Stress relief
Although you are more prone to developing fibromyalgia if a member of your immediate family has it, the onset is often triggered by stress. This is because stress has the tendency to weaken the barrier of the blood and brain causing it to become more permeable. As a result, it allows glutamate to affect the central nervous system more easily. Therefore, managing your stress is important to prevent or delay the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
4. Breathing
Learning proper breathing techniques is also effective in preventing the onset of fibromyalgia symptoms. Proper breathing can induce relaxation which can alter pain signals and ease the pain that comes with fibromyalgia. Furthermore, learning to control your body’s responses, such as breathing and heart rate, may help to reduce the pain that you feel when fibromyalgia starts attacking.
