I constantly and suddenly feel like i can’t take a proper deep breath. Any relaxation tecniques that help you guys? Other than trying to breathe more slowly and less deep. I feel out of breath guys and i’m just sitting down doing nothing. I’m having a respiratory function test done tomorrow to see if it’s anxiety or asthma or anything else. Help!

Hi Guzman, before we go down the road to it being anxiety, it's best that you are having it checked out tomorrow. I wish you well. Please let us know the results. :) xx

I had exactly the same. I underwent all the respiratory tests and found that I had mild asthma. The severity of my symptoms was caused by ANXIETY. It is so easy to get into a feedback loop when you have anxiety.

Hello,

I hope that you are feeling better today. I hope also that you were able to get into see a doctor. I hope also that you were able to get a positive reslut back on your tests. When, I get stressed and feeling overwhelmed, I have to remember that God is in control and will help me find peace in the midst of my trial. There is a verse that is really helpful in that time when I have anxiety. - "Cast your burden upon Me and I will sustain you." - Psalm 55:22

Memorize this and when you feel anxious, overwhelmed, can't breathe... Speak this verse, repeat it over and over to yourself and you will start to calm down and feel more peaceful.
