When most people with asthma commence Buteyko Clinic Method a control pause of between ten and twenty seconds will be experienced in between attacks. This means that they are habitually breathing enough air for five or six people.

If your morning control pause is less than ten seconds then you have a breathing volume greater than six times your body’s requirements; you have a serious hyperventilation problem and your asthma is rated as severe.

If your morning control pause is 12 to 15 seconds then you are breathing five times the body’s requirements, indicating you have chronic and nocturnal asthma.

If your morning control pause is 15 to 20 seconds you are breathing four times the body’s requirements, indicating moderate asthma, nocturnal and exercise-induced asthma.

If your morning control pause is 20 to 30 seconds you are breathing three times the body’s requirements, indicating that the main asthma symptoms have disappeared, although some nocturnal asthma persists.

If your morning control pause is 30 to 40 seconds you are breathing one-and-a-half times to twice the body’s requirements, indicating that you may have asthma symptoms after exposure to a severe trigger.

If your morning control pause is 40 to 60 seconds, then your breathing is correct. As a direct result, your underlying asthma is being treated and you will very rarely have symptoms.

If your morning control pause is sixty seconds you have no health problems or diseases of civilisation. For over forty years Professor Buteyko and his associates were unable to find any person with a control pause of sixty seconds who had any of the diseases of modern civilisation. Diseases of civilisation are those which have become more widespread as countries become more industrialised, including angina, asthma, allergies, bronchitis, bronchiectasis, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, emphysema, hypertension, sleep apnoea and many more.
