Your "shortness of breath" is actually overbreathing. your body is receiving too much oxygen and expelling too much carbon dioxide. Try square breathing to kind of "reset" yourself.

SQUARE BREATHING:

Breathe in for 4 seconds,

Hold it in for 4 seconds.

Breathe out for 4 seconds,

Repeat this 4 times.

That's perfect. Don't overthink it. It only makes it worse. I used to be the same way. Checking my pulse 100 times a day. Accept the anxiety and know that you are not in danger. Tell yourself that these symptoms won't hurt you. Eventually your anxiety will get bored and go away.

Hello Johnnie. Hopefully you have saved some of the replies to the many posts you have placed on this venue. People on this site care about you and have offered you many suggestions on how to deal with your anxiety.

Have yu tried any of them? Oh, and I may be wrong, but didn't you have a relaxation group available to you but you weren't attending it.

Anxiety and worry about your health is no picnic. I hope you feel better soon.

what you mean is no picnic?

[Hidden in reply to Johnnie1234]

"No picnic" means no enjoyment such as some one would have at a picnic.
