Have you tried the nasal cycle test? This very simple nasal breathing test can provide insight into your autonomic nervous system.
Discovering your dominant nostril at any given time, will help you understand your body’s responses better. Right nostril dominance means that your nervous system is in fight-or-flight. While left nostril dominance means it’s in rest and digest.
The test only takes a moment, and afterwards, if needed, you can attempt to override your nervous system response by using simple yoga breathing exercises. However, please note that this test may not work if you have a blocked nose or a deviated septum.
NOTE: the nasal cycle is a very real thing, observed in most mammals. The nasal cycle to autonomic nervous system connection is unique to yoga and has not been empirically confirmed. Anecdotally it works for most people.
