Yes I used to get it and it is to do with the way you breathe

It has to come from the abdomen and not the chest.

Have you tried the breathing excercises on the webpages here?

Hello liz

Are you taking any medication for your anxiety?

As the problem is not physical, because you have been checked by your doctor, you neeed to deal with the problem as anxiety.

Breathing exercises are good, but you need to practise everyday and make sure you do it properly.

Also, you need to accept taht there is nothing wrong with your breathing and accept your doctor's diagnosis and try to move on and ensure you are aware that this is 100% anxiety related.

I feel for you because I have had this symptom and i hated it.

You will be fine, it's just the getting there that is a struggle

Hugs

thanks hun, no im not on meds, i do try the breathing excersizes a few times a day, i just get so scared thinking CONSTANT breathlessness cant just be anxiety perhaps that where im going wrong xxx

I feel for you as i used to get this its so scarey!

Mine was a mixture of anxiety and low iron stores.

Have you had any blood tests lately?

I was borderline anemic, symptoms are feeling very tired and breathless!!

I now take iron tabs and 90% of my breathing probs have gone.

Stay calm and let me know how u get on.xx

Have you considered medication?

I was almost housebound for a year and a total mess until I gave citalopram a go. I was so anti meds.

It changed my life. I still struggle, but i've had the best years of my life since i went on it... to me it was a miracle.

Good luck
