helloI am a bit concerned and I dont know if it because of health anxiety I feel like my breathing is being effected.Its not that I am necessarily finding it hard to breath but I feel the need to constantly take a deep breath in. So deep in fact that its feels its not possible to take any deeper a breath! It scares me because sometimes I feel I cannot take a deep breath and when I relax i then manage to take this huge deep breath. Could I be doing damage to my chest muscles as they just feel weird.The doctor has listend to my lungs and heart and said both are fine. I also had blood tests done in January which were fine. But I dont know why I feel the need to have to take a deep breath all the time and let out a huge sigh. Am I short of breath? is this what being short of breath is? it also feels like a huge not in my chest and I keep thinking the worst, like a huge tumor or something.I am so scared and dont know if I should go back to the doctor, but i dont know what to say as I already went for this. I dont have trouble with physical things so am not getting puffed out i feel that if I breath any deeper in I am going to suck my chest wall into my back!
