Hi!
My names Vicky and I believe I'm suffering from some form of anxiety.
Basically I have had a recurring problem with catching my breath and feeling like I can't get enough air into my lungs. This has been coming and going since the age of about 14, I can go months without having the problem and I finally put it down to probably anxiety but recently I have developed a couple more obsessive things namely compulsive swallowing and sort of squeezing my throat muscles together. My partner says its probably anxiety but I guess I just want some advice and maybe some methods to cope which something that at times can be quite distressing for me.
I question if its stress because I live quite a stress free life Im self employed in a creative business, I eat healthy and I'm a long distance runner so for most people I would be pretty relaxed.
Thank you.
Vicky
