Buteyko is helping me manage thoracic outlet syndrome (I think; haven't had a diagnosis). My main symptom was a jarring feeling in my head when walking. Went from months where walking even a short distance gave me very mild concussion symptoms, to walking and running 12 miles in a day without issue, and the only difference seemed to be the way I was breathing.
Edit - a couple of other things possibly helped around the same time, so I'm not sure if I ever isolated the effect of breathing. But it definitely felt like it was a significant part of it.

Hey, even if it only helped 5% of your recovery, that’s still good. It’s not like there’s any medicine or treatment that fixes 100% of a problem. It’s like saying “pickleball is a treatment for obesity, but doesn’t cure it”
