Well I seem to have what a lot of you guys have - breathing problems!!! Not shortness of breath, in fact, if I'm busy at work or excercising I forget my breathing problems and breathe normally.
When I'm alone or anxious I'm very aware of my breathing and unable to fully fill my lungs with air, it's awful and usually strikes at night when I'm trying to relax or sleep, I try to yawn to get a breath in or stand up, I'm constantly taking half breaths in which leaves me feeling tired, nauseous, panicky and dizzy.
It's something I've suffered with for several years now on and off, so although you never ever get used to it, I've almost learned to accept it.
I just wanted to ask if anyone who has this, gets pains in their chest and back and sides associated with it.
I have been getting painful twinges all over my chest and back recently and my sensible self is saying that it is my poor overworked lungs and ribs that are hurting from all the overbreathing, my mental self is telling me I'm having a heart attack.
Please let me know if you guys have any experiences of this.
Thanks
