View Full Version : Breathing worries make me mental!

I suffer from Health Anxiety and to be honest, it's just got worse and worse and worse. I am regretting ever coming off my Citalopram and after two rounds of CBT...I am back to square one.

Anyway; at the moment, I am constantly aware of how I am breathing. It's got to the point where I am thinking about it all the time and I convince myself I have something more serious wrong with me, i.e. my heart's playing up (what I always think because I have had AF four times,) I have a clot in my lung etc. I can breathe and I can take deep breaths so why do I always think the worst!?

My husband is so incredibly supportive, but he must be getting sick of it. Anyone else have similar symptoms? Any tips on how you deal?

Thanks all
