I have suffered from ibs for years ,when I’m bloated it effects my breathing ,feel I don’t get enough air in and have to take deep breaths every few minutes??
Stress and anxiety can also cause breathlessness.Try relaxation therapy to help with this and perhaps deep breathing exercises. Do you know what foods cause you bloating? Try avoiding these foods or do a food diary if you don’t kniw what your trigger foods are. Anti gas medication may help too. Also speak to your doctor for help with this.
You could have dysfunctional breathing or breathing pattern disorders. There are breathing exercises you can do to help this.
