I think untill you realise and accept that all this is just anxiety or you are never going to get any better! our bodies are programed to breathe automatically we dont even have to focus on it!
The thing is with anxiety the more you focus on the sympton the more you get, i really think you should maybe see your gp and tell them how you are feeling as they will be able to help you more! are you taking any meds for your anxiety? have you considered something like cognitive behavioural therapy!
Anxiety is one of those things that unless your willing to help youself you wont overcome it!
It took me an awful long time to get it into my head that i needed to stop forcusing on the symptoms but as soon as i did the symptoms gradually began fading!

I hope your ok xx claire xx

Oh hun, you really are going through it aren't you? Can you not take reassurance from the fact that ECG was fine? I know it's hard & I wish I could take my own advice but if all the tests are clear all that's left as a cause is anxiety. Sending big hugs because I know how hard it is to stop you're mind going into over-drive.
