It sounds like a common anxiety symptom, I am like that every day, but if you are worried check with your GP.

im not too bothered about it at the min, i thought it might be another anxiety thing! hopefully it will pass! fingers crossed x

When my anxiety is up I have problems with this. It's funny/frustrating to have to focus on breathing...something that should come "naturally." If it persists I'd talk to your doc about it. All the best. :)

yes i do get this sometimes anxiety really is a pain in the ass you just need to keep reassuring yourself that it cant physically hurt you although they are horrible feelings they do pass eventually. i find the more i have an anxiety the better i can deal with it. its natural for every one to be scared about things but there comes a certain time in your life where you cant live all your life worrying about imaginary things that will happen. what will be will be you dont need to live your life scared. but i totally agree the symptoms are crippling.
