breathing?!

[**whenwillthisend**]

hi does anyone get the feeling like they are going to stop breathing, like your lungs or ribcage is restricted in some way, i feel like any minute i wont be able to breathe...i know the feeling passes but all i can seem to focus on is my breathing and the more i do it the more i feel like im going to stop....is this another wonderful symptom??

Yep I am exactly the same and when I do relaxation cds that tell you to focus on your breathing it makes it worse coz it makes me obsess about it!! Wenjoy x

I am exactly the same! Its horrible! I feel like I am breathing through steam at times. I feel like I can't breath deeply.

Yes I'm afraid it is yet another symtom of this awfull anxiety and yes the more you focus on your breathing the worse it will become.

Take care,
