Is this an anxiety symptom? I feel like I'm stuck in a loop. I constantly have to manually breathe, I can't stop thinking about it nor controlling it. Atleast this is my perception of the problem.
It feels tight and labored in my chest and stomach and I can feel every muscle movement when I inhale, which feels uncomfortable.
It also seems to get worse when I'm sitting funny or laying down to sleep. Especially bad when I'm laying down. Feels like I can't breathe, but it might just be that I'm hyperfocused on it.
I have been trying to make sure I'm breathing through my abdomen, but this is difficult to do sometimes when sitting or laying on my side. I've already had my lungs checked and had a chest x-ray, everything was fine but my anxiety LOVES to run away with it.
Does anyone go through this, or have you heard of this issue before being related to anxiety? :\
