Does anyone else ever feel like they have to concentrate on their breathing, like you're not getting enough air?
I had an ECG and blood work just last week that were normal but now I'm panicking there might be something wrong with my lungs coz I've felt like this all day and I have chest and back ache!
Yes I have this a lot with anxiety, its fairl common I think
Me too I had it I used to be short of breath the whole day sometimes. And the more I try to breath the more I can't get that satisfactory breath and my chest starts paining .
The problem here is the more you think or focus on it the worse it gets. Yawning helps . Try to distract yourself and don't pay much attention to your breath.
Hi Annie. ......I feel i am constantly having to remember to deep breath Into my stomach and not my chest, which causes palpitations which in turn causes panic.....ahhh it's so tiring.
I'm glad all your test were fine, if your shortness of breath is not caused by asthma or any other medical conditions. Then I think it's safe to say we can put it Down to our old friend....anxiety.
You'll be fine👍
