struggling to take a deep breath

[Kiran666]

I am now finding it more harder to try and take a deep breath through out the day, I have also noticed today that when i am trying to take a deep breath I can feeling myself panicking but I dont know why? I dont feel stressed but my mum thinks I have anxiety but i am now feeling annoyed and fed up about not being able to take a deep breath.

It's a mental thing. I get this too. Your probably breathing more in your chest and then once you realise you feel suffocated and by then you're already panicking. Mine comes randomly even when I'm just sitting around :/ I totally understand

Have you seen a doctor about your not being able to take deep breaths. Knowing you are okay physically might relieve your stress. Do you drink water and stay hydrated. Dehydration can cause your body to be stressed which will affect your breathing.
