fast heart and breathing

[Anxietymadman]

Did cardio yesterday night and straight after had a panick attack, went for a walk and calmed down, ever since my breathing has been off and heart rate, anyone else had this?

I feel like my breathing is off even without exercise, but yes I can get that way during exercise. With anxiety it seems that we all have different triggers. My anxiety is health and death related. I think you and I are more in tune with what our bodies are telling us and then our brains overreact. To answer your question though, yes other people experience the same thing. I write long answers because it helps me too.

Yes I feel every twinge every pain every bit of breathless

There is no need to overdo it with cardio, you just need a brisk walk for 30 minutes or so. If you walk in nature you get extra calming benefits. Anxiety will make your breathing off (too shallow). Check out this video youtube.com/watch?v=8Un_Ykh...(Not working as expected?)

I’m a mouth breather half the time when I’m a nose breather I feel ok

[76Cat in reply to Anxietymadman]

Do you feel better when you breath through your nose?

Do you want to go to a doctor? Search for Pranayama breathing techniques to help balance your breathing and anxiety. I posted an article here on healthunlocked.

Dr said oxygen breathing is excellent
