Hi All,
I suffer from hyperventaltion and obsession with breathing and have had it for about 4 years (unfortunatly not on and off).
I was just wondering, whenever i drink, albeit pop, water, alcohol, anything or even food I always feel out of breath after I have drank it.
For example i have just drank about half a bottle of Lucozade orange and after about 5 minutes i feel really out of breath and feel sticky inside if that makes sense? (Like the sugar has stuck inself to my lungs and making it hard to breathe).
It especially occurs when i down a drink if i am really thirsty, aswel as the bloated feeling i also keep having to take deep breaths and feel very out of breath.
Was just wondering if it was a chemical reaction and it is natural but i'm just noticing it more due to the obsession with breathing or whether it is purely down to my anxiety.
Thanks alot.
