You really really need to get the breathing under control.

Have you been doing the abdominal breathing and also the paper bag we keep suggesting.

It won't go away on its own Bev - you have to work hard with anxiety to beat it.

Hi hun sorry your still feeling bad, if there was anything wrong with your heart this would have been picked up, this is purely your anxiety, use a paper bag to help and try and do something to take your mind off your breathing as the more you think about it the worse it will be x x

i have this everyday atm its horrible and scary, but we must keep telling ourselfs its anxiety it isnt anything serious ,try to distract yourself and please try the bag as nic says it does work i do anything to take my mind off it

Keep yourself relaxed and distracted.. try to lie down and focus on deep breathing for a little while.. see if that helps. nothing will happen.. i can reassure u of that.
