Yeah I do , it's when your over thinking and panicking about something , I was at the hospital because I kept passing out due to stress and they gave me a inhaler because I brought up the breathing , I explained it feels like I can't catch my breath , see your doctor

I get this a lot. The worst thing you can do is worry about it. I get butterflies/thumps in the middle of my chest as well. They freak me out as they sometimes come out of nowhere. However the best thing to do is tell yourself nothing is wrong with you. I also get right before I fall asleep, a shortness of breath or like someone is taking my breath away. Its all anxiety and stress related.

I can relate completely. Been battling the breathing thing since January. Starting out being constantly aware of my breath. Now it is every 5 minutes or so that I feel like I need to take a deep breath and usually it feels like there is something in the way (throat or chest) blocking that breath. If I can get myself to relax that helps me get the breath I need. It is so frustrating and feels like this is my new normal. After all of the anxiety symptoms I have been through I just try to remind myself that this is not the worst, but I do not want to face this every day, it drives me crazy. Any advice I how to return to regular breathing would be appreciated.
