For the last 2 weeks, I have been constantly aware of my breathing. It is like I have become obsessed with it - like if I stopped thinking about it, it would just stop!! I deep breathe all the time, yawn and sigh. My chest feels tight and my upper back, neck and shoulders ache. I have a blocked up nose and post nasal drip too so I am constantly coughing and clearing my throat.

The deep breathing makes me feel light headed and tired all the time.

Over the last 4 years since I have been a member on here, I have written about this several times so I know that it does eventually go but sometimes, it can last for months. This makes me feel very down and despite having had this before, I still worry that this is something more than anxiety.
