So I have felt ok and then really bad, then ok again, it comes and goes. I have different physical symptoms to anxiety, I think we have all felt them at some point... pins and needles, headaches, chest pains etc. What I didn’t realise is the importance of how we breathe! Or that I was even doing it wrong.
So I was reading that people with anxiety have a real habit of “Shallow breathing”, not necessarily hyperventilating but just breathing in the top part of your diaphragm and not into your tummy. In turn this can cause guess what!? Headaches, chest pains, etc etc
So i have downloaded a app that reminds me at 8am every day and takes me through a 5 minute cycle of deep or proper breathing. I am not saying this is a game changer but it has helped with my chest pains.
So remember to breathe properly lovely people. It’s as important as breathing 😘
