does any one feel out of breath EASILY

[katyfitz]

does anyone find that when they run up the stairs or do things that made u rush around before u can feel ur heart pumping faster than normal, this makes me think i have a heart problem, does anyone experience this

Hi katy

Yes to your question & it is perfectly normal hun.

Thats just you given your heart a work out running up those stairs, its good for it to beat like that.

Take Care

thanks alex keep in touch

[jackie]

yes katy, many times i promise you are not alone.

i think if you think about it less iot becomes less noticeable, as it is our focus on our anxiety symptoms that is the problem

i hope you start to feel less afraid that this means heart trouble, as you will feel better if you do

hi katy,
i get this the whole time, to the point where i can't even run for a bus, let alone go to the gym or whatever.
i have started yoga, which seems to help with the whole breathing thing.

I feel out of breath alot of the time as well, but i have asthma as well so that does not help lol, i find going up the stairs terrible lol, it makes me really out of breath and my heart pounds.

yep i get out of breath when doing normal exertion type stuff and it has in the past set off a panic,i too check my pulse,must look odd to others!try slow deep breathes it slows your pulse down,it is all normal, it's that we are all sort of over aware of our bodies functions!take care,Mary-Rose.xxxx

Once we start to be aware of it then we are even looking out for it.

I am very aware of my heart beat particularly when I run upstairs but if I have lots of other things to think about then I don't notice it. So it shows how this is a mind over matter thing too.

I was like henri last summer and started to avoid exercise to avoid feeling my heart beating too fast or whatever. I too do yoga and it's fab but to get myself over this little hurdle I bought a mini trampolene and started doing just a few mins a day on it.

This has been really good for me and I hoping it will stop me gettin silly about walking up hills - I get breathless just looking at one - so there we go again anxious thoughts before I have even started.

It's worth persevering with the mild exercise to help get over this one - it's great therapy as well as getting you fitter.

yea i feel out of breath even by sitting still lol overbreathing apparently altho ive dun this so long now its becomin a huge problem for me i feel so unfit time for breathing training i think .

[Piglet]

henri sorry mate only just caught up with this thread again.

My one is called a Supertramp :D:D:D I got it online and I think you can get them at John Lewis too.

I'm glad I paid the extra as its a good one and some of the cheaper ones are false economy.

I like it because you can start with just as little as a few mins a day.

Have a go hun I am sure you wont regret it - I've had mine 6 months and it gets used by the whole household everyday.

Love Piglet xx
