Breath holding spells

[Kevin160]

Hey everyone ..recently im noticing that i have the tendamcy to hold my breath unintentionally , i mean i realize then take a breath, my breathing process is not natural it feels forced and uncomfortable..i have suffered chornic shortness of breath which seems to be anxiety based

What happens is that i cant take a deep comfortable breath except for once every couple minutes , in between are only superficial shallow breaths that are not comfortable and are not deep enough to feel satisfying ...its used to be very annoying and scary but now its been years and i went to doctors they said it could be allergies or an infection but everything looked fine and the meds they gave me never worked , but im realizing more and more that my breathing is not that good, im a mouth breather already , im always awning and gasping for air ..whenever i stand up i feel dizzy and the room gets dark for a few seconds ....im not sure if the inability to breathe deeply is due to stress or something else, i dont think its dangerous for once because its been since like 7th-8th grade ...i dint even remember what its like to take deep breath, i dont know if what im complaining about is not natural, i mean sometimes when i notice things that i have beeen sufering for a while, im not even sure if what bothers me is not weird to people, and its normal and not a problem , but im not sure anymore

I just feel dizzy sometimes and aññ i explained should lie under the physical diseases but whenever i go to doctors thankfully im physically healthy ..but i mean it should be anxiety

Anxiety was the culprit for me.
