Hi everyone,

So last night I was getting a breathless feeling I got super super anxious. It's like a breathless feeling like my heart skips a beat but it's inn my throat. I have had 2 ECG this year and everything is healthy. My doctor said I have an athlete heart not syndrome but that my heart beats slower and that it's a good thing. I have been having extremely bad anxiety lately and I dont know why 😞 I Am so sick of dealing with this it's so exhausting

Jordanfrolic,

Sorry to hear that you have been having bad anxiety lately. I am not a doctor, but I can relate to feeling breathless. Difficulty breathing (or what feels like) is my most debilitating anxiety symptom. I also find that it occurs at the base of my throat and can be persistent when I am having ongoing anxiety. I have to talk myself out of a panic attack and remind myself that it is not physically hurting me. Doing quick meditative/self-hypnosis/relaxation exercises has helped me in the past. I just have to force myself to take the extra fifteen minutes and stay focused on the meditation. Hope this helps some.

Good luck to you,

That's me it literally lasted about 2hrs but I was constantly thinking about it so I think that's why. Except my sister was like I think there is something more wrong she's like that's scary

Yes, they can be super scary and family (bless their hearts) sometimes make it worse. Sounds like you have been ruling out health/heart related things. I mean it is always good to see your doctor. But, I know anxiety makes it extremely hard for me to breath. I really have to concentrate and turn inside myself (like meditation stuff) to help reduce the panic. It usually helps for awhile some. Although, there are times I have to literally lay down for fifteen minutes like four/five times a day. Just hang in there and always reach out if you want. It's nice to be able to talk to someone who shares the pain.
