Group A-Diaphragmatic breathing

Patient was in casual and agreeable position in which gravity helped the stomach, for example, a semi fowler's position. Hand was put on the rectus abdominis just beneath the foremost costal edge and requested that the patient take in gradually and profoundly through the nose. Persistent was told to keep the shoulder casual and upper chest very, enabling the belly to rise marginally. At that point persistent was guided to remain loose and breathed out gradually through the mouth. The patient rehearsed this 3 to 4 times and the rest time frame was given so patient couldn't hyperventilate.This group was given 10 reps of 3 sets with 4 weeks of follow up

Group B-Icing and Airflow Stimulation

"Patient was lying comfortable in semi fowler position. Facial muscle icing was given using ice pack wrapped in cloth over cheeks and nose in butterfly pattern and over forehead for 5 minutes. Ice pack was applied on the patients face (around the cheek \& nose) and accessory muscles (sternocleidomastoid muscles, upper trapezius) for single session of 5 to 10 minutes.~After that airflow stimulation was given with the help of table fan. Table fan was placed on the central area of face. Duration of the fan for the patient was at least 5 minutes to relive dyspnea and distance kept approximate of 60 centimeter (2 rulers)."
