im always feeling like i cant breathe sometimes so bad that i feel like im going to pass out. Thankfully i never have. however sometimes im not sure if its stress, poor posture/sitting too long or trapped gas. but i do notice if i make myself belch it gives me temporary relief. does anyone else suffocate through the day?? what helps? i have to breathe so hard then it feels like my oxygen gets cut off. it got so bad just now before this pulse that i felt a sharp chest pain for a second
Sorry you’re going through this. I suffer with constant difficulty breathing due to supposed anxiety too
If we start worrying and paying attention to our auto processes, we will feel these symptoms with anxiety. Breathing is controlled subconsciously by the respiratory center at the base of the brain. We can control it with speech and actually holding our breath, but its automatic when you don’t. I believe if we ignore it and focus on other things, you’ll notice distraction helps. Even if we go unconscious, breathing will continue. Just trying to help you feel better.
