Myotape Faqs
Children aged from four years and adults.
Mouth breathing causes you to inhale more air than the body needs, unbalancing the blood biochemistry. This is a dysfunctional breathing pattern called chronic hyperventilation. It causes blood CO2 levels to drop, and without adequate carbon dioxide, the body is not able to access adequate amounts of oxygen from the blood. When you mouth-breathe, you also bypass the dilatory properties of nasal nitric oxide and CO2. The nose becomes congested and it becomes difficult to breathe any other way than through the mouth.
Chronic hyperventilation, and its nighttime alter ego, sleep-disordered breathing, factor in many physical and mental illnesses, from high blood pressure to anxiety disorder. While nasal breathing engages the diaphragm, slows and normalizes breathing volume, and filters and warms the air before it enters the lungs, keeping the airways moist and protected from irritants, bacteria and viruses, mouth breathing does none of these things.
It’s time to make the switch!
- Remove the paper backing from your MYOTAPE
- Using your hands, gently stretch the tape by about 20%
- Bring you lips together
- Gently place the tape so that it surrounds your mouth
- MYOTAPE is not suitable for children under 4 years of age
- The tape should not be used if your child is unable to remove it by themselves
- Do not use the tape if your child has a tummy upset or is at risk of vomiting
- Children must only use MYOTAPE with adult supervision
MYOTAPE should be worn every day while your child is awake, for between 30 minutes and 2 hours. It is especially important to use MYOTAPE when your child is distracted, for example, while playing with toys, drawing, watching TV or using an iPad.
MYOTAPE can also be used for children over four years of age during sleep. Please consult with a medical doctor before using the tape with your child during sleep.
Applying the tape:
- Remove the paper backing from your MYOTAPE
- Using your hands, gently stretch the tape by about 20%
- Encourage your child to bring his or her lips together
- Gently place the tape so that it surrounds your child’s mouth
- Do not use the tape if you feel nauseous or may vomit
- MYOTAPE is not suitable for children under four years old
- MYOTAPE cannot be worn if you have facial hair. In order to adhere to the skin, it must be applied to a shaven face
If you have facial hair, the tape will not stick. It is designed to adhere to the skin.
If you are unable to breathe through your nostrils, Patrick’s nasal breathing training program will teach you to decongest your nose. This will allow you to restore nasal breathing during rest and physical exercise. It will also make it possible to establish whether you can breathe comfortably through your nose during sleep.
If it is only difficult to breathe nasally rather than impossible, consider using a nasal dilator alongside MYOTAPE until nose breathing feels easier.
