Hi Rob,
Understand how you are feeling was really struggling with the breathing thing couple of weeks back ..has gotten bit better now ....You will be ok...i was panicking like mad and was hyperventilating all day litterally it was exhausting. I too was pretty desperate and felt i was gonna die as I felt every breath was so difficult..but i'm still here..just about!
Hope you feel ok and have calmed down abit now. Take Care Joidex

Hi -Sometimes it helps if I have a small snack-like an apple or piece of toast. Have you had anything to eat? Maybe try some crackers- even though you may feel like you're alone- there is love and support here at NMP so keep posting and we can all get through this together.
Love-Blue

Hi Rob
I have posted this advice before from the great Dr Weekes......A good exercise to stop rapid shallow breathing: lie flat on the floor or bed, bend knees and bring legs close to your body, keeping feet flat on the ground. Then place arms across chest, right hand grasping left shoulder, left hand grasping right shoulder. This produces abdominal breathing'.

The feeling that you can't breathe is caused by chest muscles tightening due to anxiety...Dr Weekes also says 'do not let it frighten you. Breathe as shallowly as you feel you must, but donot be concerned with what will happen because you breathe this way. Your respiritory centre will see that you inspire enough air, despite your effort to hinder it'.:yesyes:

I hope this helps.
