Breathing issues? Making my health anxiety rise :(

[anxious_thoughts]

I had so much trouble falling asleep last night because of a stuffy nose. I took an allergy pill and went back to bed but it felt like I wasn't breathing properly, or taking a full enough breath. It also feels like its stiff or something around my chest and on the top of my stomach. I can't even explain it! Am I just over thinking things?

That's how I'm feeling generally at the moment, holding the bottom of my ribs tense and can't relax my chest :(

That's just like me! It feels like someone's sitting on my stomach and chest ;(

[mummyanxious]

Yep I know how you feel but no suggestions I'm afraid :(

exactly the same as you & every1 else

I often feel like that, too. The only thing that helps is laying on my stomach. The worst is when it happens during class and all I can think about is how my breathing isn't right, but I can't fix it!

Hello, thanks for replying guys!

I will try laying on my stomach next time it happens. I'm really starting to think its all anxiety since when I'm busy I don't notice it.
