Slower breath count in Relax app

would like to know if its possible to tailor the breath rate in the relax app? the default is way too fast for me. I'm almsot hyperventilating

so far i've resolved to using the timer and breathing how i'd like to but annoyingly this doesn't register in our mindfulness stats or whatever.

 

ideally i'd like guided breathes for 

5 secs inhale, 5 secs exhale

and

4 sec inhale, 6 sec hold, 7 sec exhale

 

Moderator Edit: Clarified subject and label.

 

which i use for getting to sleep

 

Please let me know if i'm missing something? or maybe if we make enough noise about it, if this post gets enough notice, Fitbit might revise the breathwork feature

Yes pleeaaassee! I just tried it for the first time and felt like I was hyperventilating. Not at all relaxing to breath that fast!
