Hi Anx, Have you had any CBT? or have you thought about trying hypno?
Thanx for replying. No had no cbt. Doc is now gonna change my meds cos not doing anything.
Hi
The symptoms you describe are classic signs of anxiety, I would imagine everyone on this site has experienced them at some point. When we get anxious we "over breath" and this gives a feeling of breathlessness, pins and needles, dizziness and chest pains. I remember years ago going to a self help group and they asked me to breath really quickly for 2 mins and low and behold all the above symtoms soon followed.
Try and relax. x

Hi
I know it is sooo hard to believe but the breathing thing really is anxiety, I have it too and its so horrible, as soon as I acknowledge it it gets worse and worse. I hyperventilate all the time without realising I'm doing it, and my body gets so over-oxygenated (sp? lol) I can get dizzy and tingly extremeties and lips, and racing heart, and chest pains! All that stuff, if I get particularly bad I will go to the doctor, even if only for reassurance., but am really trying to stop this as its getting a bit much now! My biggest fear is my heart so I can understand how you feel, only yesterday I had a panic attack on the train because I was getting chest twinges and breathless, but when I really tried to breathe properly (little breath in, long breath out, through the nose) I managed to get control of myself before I made a big scene!
I want to try Hypnotherapy as I think it will really help with breathing and generally relaxing! Have you tried breathing with a paper bag for a fw minutes, it can really help even out your oxygen levels and lessen the breathlessness.
Really hope you feel better,
ps. I tried writing you back a message but it says your inbox is full so it wouldnt send!

The breathing problem is really unpleasant and scary. I have felt so unwell for months ' had lots of tests but havent had any positive answers. Do you feel the need to yawn a lot to get enough air
take car Dor
Hi Anx
Hope you start picking up soon and the doc helps. Good luck xx
