Hi all,
For some background I am a 21 year old male. I have always had symptoms like skipped beats and shortness of breathe but recently it has gotten much worse. Randomly throughout the day it will feel like I am about to stop breathing and will pass out because I get so dizzy. It doesn't feel like air hunger, but literally feels like my breathing will completely stop. Now I always feel pressure in my chest and left arm. I have already been to the ER 4 times and have seen 3 cardiologists and an electrophysiologist. I have gotten EKGs, Ultrasounds, X-rays, Blood work, and even a 30-day monitor and they tell me they cant find anything. Can anxiety really make you feel like you will just stop breathing like this? I get so scared because it also seems like I start blacking out.
yes anxiety can do this.
i used to hyperventilate so much i would pass out because i thought i couldnt breathe. anxiety can give horrible symptoms
Yes anxiety attacks can make you feel horrible in every way.
You would really benefit from listening to a meditation on you tube called Meditation to stop a panic attack NOW. EVEN if you are not panicking, this will really help you get control and relief!
Lay down or sit up, use earbuds and do exactly what they say.
There are many meditations for anxiety, breathing, depression, etc
Proper breathing along with thought control is the Key to anxiety management.
A good one for thought control is called Detachment from Overthinking.

Also, you will NOT stop breathing! It’s automatic.
I have almost blacked out several times with anxiety. Never gone fully out and it calmed down when I call down…sometimes the feeling comes out of the blue and I feel faint. Then my heart will start racing. But once it stops I’m fine. Try not to worry. Uf youve had tests done and they can find anything then try to do stuff to get your mind off of your health. Good luck!
