2017 Anxiety Back!!

[CemilDerrel]

Anyone ever deal with pecs muscles feeling tight I always feel like im shortness of breath like I have to a deep breath everytime I breathe but I have no cough or pain in my chest , and I've been to the hospital so many times this year for my anxiety its like when are these symptoms gonna be serious . my grandmother said its probably because I sit up and play my video games all day or how I sleep and when I lay down on my back the urge to take a deep breathe goes away but I dealt with this before in 2017 now it's back and I feel like it's a SERIOUS heart problem or Lung problem

There are many different physical symptoms of anxiety. Tightness in your chest, tightness in the throat, dizziness, headaches, nauseated pit in your stomach and I’ve had them all. I still experience them. Just remember to tell yourself that it’s anxiety and that you are ok. Repeat it to yourself. A lot of people are dealing with anxiety right now. It sounds easier said than done. Just take it minute by minute. I talk to my anxiety like it’s a person. And when I used to have it it consumed me and I didn’t feel like I could function. Now I talk to it and tell it you’re here and that’s fine but I have to get on with my day and I go and start doing things. Even something small like a load of laundry or whatever. It may still be there but I’ve learned that I can function through it. I literally talk to it numerous times a day if I have to. Little baby steps and if that’s all you can do then you are doing your best. ❤️

Sorry you’re feeling this way. I also have these same issues, feeling like I can’t take a deep breath. It helps to focus on your breathing. Take as much breath in through your nose while counting to 4. Let the air out of your mouth slowly and count to 8. Do this 10 times and your right chest will relax a bit. Hope this helps.
