Hello

You won't stop breathing but your anxiety is playing tricks with your mind giving you these thoughts & the more they do the more we feel this could be reality yet it is anxiety & not something that actually will happen

I have read you lost your cousin , which I am so sorry to hear , this more than likely will have maybe triggered these thoughts that something may happen to you & maybe you are now looking & focusing on what might be different like your breathing & the more we focus we will find something different but not harmful

You were on meds are you still taking them ? if you are or if not go back & talk to your doctor about how you feel , you are young & have all your life to lead so get as much support as you can now so you can kick this anxiety into touch x
