I have had my resperate for 2 weeks. I am using it daily. I average between 15 and 20 breaths when I start and 3 to 4 breaths when I finish. Is this too low? I feel comfortable at 4 but a little too concious of my breathing when I drop to 3. What level should I be at?

Comfort is key. If you are "feeling" too concious regarding your breathing rate, then that's probably an indicaiton that it is too low. It's important to keep in mind that it's not a competition to see how low you can go. I would probably recommend remaining at 4+ BPM in your case. After a few more weeks or even months, if you are finding yourself going lower than that, then go with it, as long as you are truly comfortable!
