My breathing isn’t normal had it for 3/4 weeks now

[Leebowles98]

I went to the doctors last week checked my lungs and heart and oxygen all was fine apparently,my breathing still isn’t normal I’ve tried all the breathing exercises once a day and they don’t work I’ve tried a lot of things coukd this be pneumonia even tho everything was ok

[Leebowles98]

Can someone help

As weird as this may sound... you think about your breathing too much. I find myself doing it often but when I remind myself that my lungs will take in air naturally if I let them do their job. Just try and distract yourself during an episode and you will see that you can control it.

Like I just done a 3mile run but my chest feels tight and throat is tickle

Had it for 4weeks breathing doesn’t feel really quick but feels shallow could it be pneumonia

I’ve had the same problem for a couple weeks now & from what I was told is that it’s anxiety, if you had your lungs checked and they didn’t hear anything that sounds like an pneumonia they you shouldn’t be concerned of that at least, I’m pretty sure you did what many of us have done and used Dr. Google to check your symptoms and I have dont it too I thought I had COPD because my breathing was off, I thought I had a collapsed lung and I’ve had 10 hospital visits in the last week and I’m driving myself insane thinking something is physically wrong with me when every test that has been done nothing that alarmed the doctors came back

Yeah and me they only used a sterthoscope to listen but she everything was fine and my oxygen was 99

[Ray8788 in reply to Leebowles98]

Yeah they said the same thing to me and my oxygen was any where from 98-100 so we are getting the air we need it’s out minds I guess that won’t allow us to thing of the positive and it only focuses on the negative. I had a really good friend my best friend at that get mad at me because I decided to take the medication the doctor prescribed to me “Lexapro” she told me I need to face my demons on my own & I just feel I’m not mentally strong enough right now for it. My anxiety last for hours and hours & the occasional panic attacks last no more than 20-30 mins for me but it’s hard to think about it being just anxiety because it feels so real so physical but maybe it really just is I know everyone is worried about this stuff going on in the world so it’s taking a toll on us with mental health issues more than someone who is generally normal

Yeah it’s scares you when it goes on for 4weeks
