Hi

I've been using resperate for a week now, but find that I want to breathe slower than the machine wants to let me. Once it gets below 5 bpm it seems to want to stop there but I feel I could go much slower as i'm not using my full lung capacity - in fact it still seems like fairy shallow breathing. I am doing 20 min sessions with about 18 mins of therapeutic breathing. Should I just breathe easy at the machine's pace or try to make it go slower? Does it eventually slow down with more use? The sync figure is around 90 as we tend to get a bit out of step as I slow down my breathing quicker than the machine
