I am very stressed. Had a neg covid test 3 days ago, but the week prior to that I've been really bad someone tried stealing my car twice, so I was worried about burglars aswell. Stayed out for a night I was that bad.. so haven't actually been sleeping the best since I just hate this symptom so much cos it makes me very paranoid im short of breath because of covid. :( its awful.
Your GP told you there's nothing to worry about and you were reassured all for what, 24 hours? Now you're back with a new thread (now merged with the other one) and obvious ANXIETY symptoms.
HA is awful, what's worse is not doing anything to help yourself.
Fear= stress hormones= bloating= chest tightness. It's a very physical ANXIETY symptom and the more you fuel your anxiety with fearful thoughts, the tighter your chest will feel.
You get rid of this by breathing properly and not catastrophising.
You can keep going as you are, or you can do something to break the cycle, so maybe start by accepting the advice from your GP?
