Re: Troubles breathing//Dr.Google
I know how scary this feels, ive been to the ER once as well, but the facts are: if you can talk, drink water, your lips aren't turning blue, and you can hold your breath, you DON'T have true shortness of breath. You are fine.
Anxiety makes us aware of our breathing and as soon as we think we have to control our own breathing, we over breathe and it causes the symptoms you're having. I've had them too.
Put your hand on your belly and feel it rising. Thats a sign there is nothing wrong with your airway.
Breathe in for 4, hold your breath for 7, exhale for 8.
