Hi.. yes if you suffer with anxiety it's perfectly normal to try and take deep breaths, and finding it difficult to take air in. Try breathing in slowly through your nose and out through your mouth to calm your breathing down:)

Health anxiety is quite common....

It's my breathing I'm realy concerned about...

Breath through your nose :)
I can't even think about my breathing lol I will start to feel suffocated, chest too tight, not enough air . .
But mints or a drink n distraction can help.

I also have a finger pulse reader that tells me my blood oxygen level so that helps me calm down :) well except when it malfunctions!
