Whenever I get into an anxiety state (which is pretty frequently) I get a sort of suffocating feeling and feel the need to gulp in air. I tend to take frequent shallow breaths through my mouth which I know is not what you're supposed to do, but it seems to be what I need to do instinctively..? Anyway, I've tried to do the deep, slow breaths that they recommend but I can't do it when I'm anxious somehow, it's like I'm too tense for it to work.
Then sometimes because I've been overbreathing and 'gulping' I get quite gassy because I've been swallowing too much air (I think it's called aerophagus). It makes me feel uncomfortable and tense and starts the whole miserable process off again! Does anyone else suffer from this? x
