Does anyone else feeling like they can't breathe properly? I've been feeling like that for quite a while, feeling like my airway is blocked

[lauren23]

Yeah I feel like that on a night when it's really quite and I'm anxious I feel asif I can't do belly breathing so I tend to breathe from chest when anxious

i do get those times where im always checking my breathing and there have been times where i swear my breathing isnt right. what do you mean when you say you feel that your airway is blocked? do you feel a lump there? or maybe swollen? can you take a deep breath?

[-Rinaaa in reply to MrMike]

it feels restricted

[MrMike in reply to -Rinaaa]

i used to get that feeling like my airway was somehow smaller than before..and when i breathed in it felt like that. i would sometimes stop what i was doing and take deep breaths to check the "feeling" of the air going in. i noticed that if i focused on relaxing the muscles in my throat and jaw that the air seemed to flow in just fine...or at least better than when it felt restricted. when we are tense our muscles will tighten and sometimes that makes things we do feel different than when the muscles are relaxed. do you use your nose and mouth when you inhale? i also noticed that when i would try to take deep breaths i would close my nasal passages and inhale only through my mouth..which would make it feel different. our minds can play tricks on us and make things feel different to us when we focus on them too much. have you seen a doctor about it? just to rule out anything else it could be.
