I don't suffer from that but I have other problems. The trouble is HA can cause so many physical symptoms and a lot of people get different symptoms even though they are anxiety related. You are not on your own. Try to tell yourself that these symptoms are not going to do you any harm. Good luck keep posting

Yes I have a cold at the moment, feeling pretty rough at the moment but I am told there is a bug going round, cold, sore throat, light headed etc. thanks for replying it does help xx

[maggie1945 in reply to Hidden]

Yes, and very worrying. You think something serious is wrong, but it helps to talk to someone else. keep in touch xx

[thomson1898]

Yes I know that feeling too.

What seems to work for me most times is either distraction like you said, or concentrating on breathing out rather than in. I find if I make sure I breathe out fully it makes it easier to get that breath in, iykwim lol

[maggie1945 in reply to thomson1898]

yes been told this before but does not always work for me but I will keep trying, thank you xx

I've go this feeling too. I've had a cold over the last few weeks and I am worried it's something wrong but I guess its anxiety and nothing too bad

[maggie1945 in reply to CardiffGirl80]

I have had this most days for over lyr now, had tests done previous all due to anxiety. But you do get worried and this makes it worse. keep in touch if you like and we will compare notes x

I always feel like this I went to the doctor last week he said it was anxiety x

[maggie1945 in reply to scoobyd]

When it first happened to me I went to A & E had x ray, ecg, blood tests and I was told it was Anxiety.

It is not a very nice feeling but when you know someone else has the same I think it helps, sometimes I feel as if I don't want to walk far in case I cannot take that deep breath, but you have to force yourself to go. Otherwise another problem would be not being able to go out of the door. I have also felt lightheaded which is another symptom of the anxiety or so I am told. Keep in touch it is nice to speak to others in the same boat x

[CardiffGirl80]

I am wondering if it's a bug. Now and again I get intense tummy pain, it's like someone kicking me. Now I've got pain both sides of ribs and I've got a cough too. I can't do much about it over the weekend, doctors is closed but I will keep an eye on it!

[maggie1945 in reply to CardiffGirl80]

Hi there, sorry I cannot comment on this as I do not have the same symptoms. hope you feel better soon xx

[hihihih1233]

Omg me too, I suffer from bad anxiety, and I am only 14. I feel like my lungs lock up and I can't breathe right, i feel like i have to take a deep breath in, inorder to feel like i am breathing. and it sucks. everyone says that it is anxiety. and it probably is, if i don't think about it i am fine. but if i think about it for just one second i am screwed for like 3 hours.

[scoobyd]

Definitely I suffer with this I try and ignore it then I breathe proper

[maggie1945 in reply to scoobyd]

Hi there I have had the same now for about one year. It helps to think about something else but I do have 5mg of diazapam but only have to take it when really bad. Helps to know your not alone but I do get worried of I have to walk along way incase I cannot get that deep breath. Keep in touch nice to speak with someone else xx

[sweetpeaiow]

I am currently suffering with this. Had bad anxciety for just over 3 weeks now. The more I try to breath the worse it gets. Its a vicious circle

[Lisajean]

OMG I am do glad I found this post I suffer from this everyday! Everyone thinks I am crazy I've been from dr to dr and finally told its anxiety I am going through alot of stress a very dear friend was in a accident on June 30 and is in a vegetative state and her mom is refusing to let any of her friends see her I can't help it every minute of every day is consumed of thought of loosing her and not being able to see her let alone my biggest trigger for anxiety Is loosing people I love

Thanks for reading my rant

Hi everybody,

Apparently anxiety is provoked by a low level of magnesium in the body... of course besides a disagreeable situation... I was told to investigate this powder.- Natural Vitality, Natural CALM, a relaxing magnesium supplement ..

I have a year or two suffering the difficulty of deep breathing symptom, the kind mentioned above that you have to calm down and wait for a satisfying deep breath, I began just yesterday trying this product and feel that it is working, I really hope it represent a solution for all of us suffering this awefull problem.

Thank you
