Difficulty breathing

[Nico]

Does anyone else have this symptom, it feels like I constantly can't get a satisfying breath no matter what I do. I have had blood tests which were fine and a lung function test which my doc never followed up on and so I assume was fine and I have had my heart listened to etc. I don't feel like doing sport due to this which is a shame because I wanted to make the rowing team, I just feel like I will never be fit again. (I have no cough or pain when breathing etc. and I can still run)

It is a really really REALLY common anxiety symptom:D I get this, as do countless others on this forum and beyond. It's really uncomfortable, confusing, frustrating and often frightening. But it will never do you harm.

Rest assured if you have been checked by your GP then this is just another one of those horrid anxiety symptoms. Perhaps read some information on hyperventilation, over breathing and try some breathing exercises.

This is one of those ones that will improve the less you think about it.
