I think I haveanxiety problems I centre ruminate a lot. I can’t get something that happened out of my mind like a social interaction with somebody. I replay it replay it then I started developing problems where I would breathe and then I feel like I have to yawn or breathe deeply all the time. Now it’s a habit when I get anxiety I have breathing problems has anyone else had this.
It sounds like your panicking due to the anxiety, try some mindfulness when you get like this, or find a coping technique, like focusing on something different, anxiety plays havoc with my heart, to the point of feeling like I’m going to black out, and concentrating on my breathing gives me focus; keep a paper bag with you, its old fashioned but works as an instant calmer, and helps you regulate your breathing.
I have used box breathing as a way of regulating breathing successfully.
Quite simply, all you do is breathe in for the count of two, hold for two, breathe out for two, and then hold again for two. Then repeat.
It gently forces you to concentrate on breathing rather than what’s in your head. Meditation and mindfulness techniques are also really good.
