I’ve been doing a lot better, but my anxiety and worry is slowly creeping back...
anyway, for a good two weeks, I had very little symptoms. Before my anxiety calmed down, I had chest pains for about a week, and then shortness of breath the week after.. and I was convinced something was wrong with my heart. Before I go any further, I had my heart checked in February multiple times and every test came back normal. My symptoms went away for about two weeks, and now the shortness of breath is back. Could this seriously just be anxiety?? It usually only happens when I think about my breathing.. but idk I’m still worried
Omg yes yes yes I know exactly how you feel I am currently as we speak having breathing issues. At this very moment I'm very nauseous and have shortness of breath it's all anxiety.. atleast that what I also keep telling myself it comes and goes. One minute I'm fine next minute it feels like it gets harder to take in oxygen.. your not alone ...
I know what your going threw i have very bad anxiety last year i thought i was having a heart attack went to er three times said it was anxiety mines goes away for months and then its back .I get sharp pain in my left arm and chest discomfort its hard to believe iits anxiety i wish you luck its a horrible thing never thought anxiety could do this
Hi Shelby, in a word, "yes" this is caused by anxiety. At least you can rest assured that your heart is fine. So, you can rule out any serious there. If you re-read your last sentence you say "it only happens when I think about my breathing. It starts right there. Your thoughts are provoking the physical sensation you describe. The" mind"is extremely intricate and powerful. Next time you feel this shortness of breathe try some deep breathing exercises. Donna xxx
