Sighing does have therapeutic effects. It involves the parasympathetic nervous system, which is essentially the division of the nervous system responsible for lowering heart rate and blood pressure and helping you relax. The sympathetic nervous system is the "fight or flight" response; the parasympathetic nervous system is the "relax" response.

Why is crying therapeutic? Tears are similar to amniotic fluid, the fluid that surrounds us in the womb. When we cry, we are trying to return to somewhere we instinctively know is safe by surrounding ourselves with salty fluid. Weird theory? I've heard it from many healthcare providers.

I think you might actually help your mood if you try to change your tendency to sigh into a really deep breath. Breathe in deeply, hold it for a count of 5 and exhale. Great tension reliever.

I sigh all the time. It is my way to kind of let go of stress. When I was power shopping at the mall one day I sighed really loud when I was walking behind these two old ladies and they turned around and were like oh....excuse us....and scurried out of my way. I felt really bad. But anyway.....yea I sigh and find it good.

Its anxiety ho, Im sorry your hurting, try meditating to relieve stress... gl

anyways
yes i think it will help
its a type of carthtic relief like crying is...
