Deep breathing stretches and strengthens your diaphragm. Practice diaphragmatic breathing several times a day. Lie flat on your back, with your knees slightly bent. Place one hand on your chest and one on your stomach. Breathe in deeply through your nose using your stomach but keep your diaphragm relaxed at first. You should see the hand on your stomach move upward as you inhale, but the hand on your chest should remain still. Exhale deeply, tightening your stomach muscles(mainly upper abdomen) while tightening the lower sternum muscle at the end of your breath and keeping the hand on your chest still. Repeat four times. <==] This breathing technique worked great I felt relief doing it and my stomach is now digesting properly it's making much more noise that I haven't heard in weeks I'm breathing much better now too. I'm a 20 year old male. 6'1, 155. My esophagus was swelt up and I was having sinus congestion with indigestion and constipation. But I'm feeling much better now after this, you should give it a try pretty much you inhale using your stomach then while you exhale flex your upper abdomen and right and the end of your breath you tighten the sternum muscles feels like your pushing your stomach out of your diaphragm well atleast for me it did.
