Does anyone else feel a shortness of breath?

[Ldj4534]

I do...... it's normally when I feel overwhelmed

[ANXIETYisLAME in reply to Ldj4534]

Yea. Sometimes I feel like it for hours. Thanks for responding. Not to sound rude but it's kinda co fitting knowing I'm not the only one

[ANXIETYisLAME]

Yes

[jmgillette]

Yeah mine too.

[Julie_z]

Yes

[ANXIETYisLAME in reply to Julie_z]

Thank you for your reply

[Julie_z in reply to ANXIETYisLAME]

No problem. I've struggled with this since January. The doctors say it's sinus issues which is difficult for me to understand.

[ANXIETYisLAME in reply to Julie_z]

They told me that years ago too.

[Julie_z in reply to ANXIETYisLAME]

Did you take any meds for it? I was prescribed Flonase but don't trust the diagnosis so haven't taken it :/

[ANXIETYisLAME in reply to Julie_z]

I wasn't prescribed anyrhing

Constantly. Its bothersome. Feeling short of breath usually gives me panic attacks

[Ldj4534 in reply to Hidden]

Same here. I often become afraid because it's almost uncontrollable at times and will cause slight chest pains after a while. Or if it's not shortness of breath then it's restlessness.

[ANXIETYisLAME in reply to Hidden]

Same here. I'd feel short of breath and take many deep breaths and then experience what feels like my heart skipping a beat

If my anxiety is bad I do. It's awful.

I think this is one of the most common symptoms of anxiety. I get the feeing like I can't get a full breath in sometimes. I've been going to yoga and learning about how to regulate breathing and that is very helpful. I'm sure there are videos on YouTube that you can try. I also downloaded a meditation app that is very helpful.

[ANXIETYisLAME in reply to Hidden]

Thanks. What's the app called?

I have shortness of breath and sinus issues (Vasomotor rhinitis). It is exacerbated in the low air pressure days when there is a storm or rainy. I feel more anxious and it is tougher to breathe. I have asthma also and that doesn't help. My Immunologist calls it "Air hunger" where there is lots of yawning and labored breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing seems to help with meditation. I would definitely talk to a physician because oxyegen levels in your blood can be dangerous if low.
