Can’t take deep breathes

[NewUserx]

I feel like I’m about to have a panic attack.

For the last few days I have felt sick and had a bit of an upset stomach. I just put it down to dodgy food and thought it was a stomach bug that would pass

But today I was out with a friend and I had a funny feeling come over me, now I still feel sick and I’m struggling to catch my breathe.

Deep breathes don’t seem possible I find it hard to take a good deep breathe.

Could I have a virus which is causing me to feel like this??

How can I make this feeling pass without deep breathes?

Thanks in advance. I’m on the verge of a panic attack and it’s a very scary feeling

I know the feeling. I get sick feeling too all the time , every day and then my stomach acts up .... it’s all panic and anxiety related ... I try so hard to take deep breaths in and I have a hard time... makes it worse when I try and yawn and I just can’t take a complete yawn :(. I know how are feel . It’s terrible ... all I can say is just try and try and do some nice easy deep breathing ( as best as you can ).... sit calmly and try maybe playing a game on your phone or do a puzzle on the phone ... try and keep your mind occupied !!!!

I've had this so many times over the years. Its absolutely awful. The relief when you finally get that deep breath is wonderful, but then it starts all over again!

All I can say is that it is your anxiety and it will pass. Its horrific living through it but it will pass.

You need to try and calm yourself and your breaths (so hard I know) maybe to a meditation on you tube.

Take care.
