Feeling like I'm forcing myself to breathe

[KatieRichie94]

I'm not sure if this is from anxiety, stress or sleep deprivation but I'm getting this feeling thst I'm forcing myself to breathe and if I stop I'll die. I keep checking my oxygen level and it's staying at 98.

Yes and obviously it's all in my head cause it's been persisting for the past 20 or 30 minutes. I just need to grt a good regular sleep achedule.

Going through the exact same thing for about 3 days now.i have to constantly sit there and think about how to breath . It's very frustrating. I kept thinking I had a collapsed lung or something .But I think it is just anxiety because when I lay down I don't think about it anymore and I start breathing normal

Yes I have this exact same thing! I call it difficulty breathing, its like your laboring to make yourself breath regularly...and yes i also check my Oxygen and im 98% Im starting to wonder if mine is related to the allergens in the air...maybe all my problems are...since im allergic to mold in the air...maybe something similar in your case...or just anxieties. I take aspirin and seems to help generally when I cant breath good like this.

I would describe it as the same. It is safe to say that it is allergens as well. I woke up with my throat really dry and sore today so I've been drinking extra water, cough drops and I ate 2 oranges =)
