Your belief that you can't breathe is one of the most common symptoms of anxiety. It feels like you aren't getting enough air in. You are. We don't control aur breathing our bodies do that automatically. It is when we start trying to control it that we start to bring on feelings of not being able to breathe. Everyone will advise you to distract yourself and stop thinking about your breathing. Its the best advice. The hard part is actually distracting yourself because you think you are doing it but there is a tiny little paret of your mind that keeps checking. People with HA are always checking even when they think they aren't.:)
