ok breathng issues again

[scaredstiff695]

ok

ive posted a few times relating to this but mostly when im in a panc so going to try and ask now im in a calmer place.

Ive never suffered from this before but i no where t has come from.

im having major breathng issues. i really believe im gong to stop breathing and die or develop breathlness from nowwhere or i have a chest infection (i dont) and that will develop.

I can not stop thinkng about my breathing and chest. my chest feels heavy all the time was in a lot of pain yesterday eased off alot to do, been told ts just muscle tension

i constantly try to take massive big deep breaths but i cant (obviously cos i dont need to) i think f i stop thnking about breathng i wont be able to breathe.
i think if i do to much like running upstar that i will develop breathing issues cos my chest will feel strange again ive been told its all to do with the muscle tension t does add up but ni cant switch off from it.

im either trying to take deep breaths or coughing or yawning all day.
my whole bosy aches from it i get tingling sensations my head goes dizzy and im tired ve had 8 hours in the past two days for worrying that i will die in the nght.
can anyone relate at all

No doubt you have both read that this is an absolute classis symptom of anxiety called air hunger, the more you yawn take deep breaths etc the worse you will feel but I understand exactly what you mean.

No magic cure other than accepting it is a symptom of anxiety and nothing else and hoping that if you believe this in time the syptom will improve slowly.

I have had decent luck with various self hypnosis for stress and anxiety CD's. They make you focus on your breathing. This seems to help me through most of my breathing issues.
