Hi warkie

I get this alot & thing others do as well

Ella suggests breathing excerises, can be googled how to do them , but dont google anything else

They do come on out the blue , last night I also felt I had a lump in my throat , not had that in ages , again anxiety

Try & remember when you feel this , its anxiety & let it come & pass and it will

You are not on your own , cant wait for Spring coming hope it makes us all feel a little better

Love

Its horrible,never had this before,i know it cant damage your heart or lungs but keep thinking it xx

[Hidden in reply to warkie]

I have had it for years & I dont think it has caused me any damage in that way , so it wont do to you either

Try not to fight it & go with it & the fear will get less & your breathing better

Look at breathing excercises

Have you had a chat with your gp

Love

Hi Warkie, I will give you a start with breathing that I do. I do it every chance I get and it never fails to calm me down.

Lay or sit somewhere comfortable and just let your body go completely slack, eyes closed.

Place one hand on your abdomen.

Breathe in slowly through your nose to the count of 7.

Breathe so your abdomen rises

Hold for a few seconds.

As if blowing a candle out..a series of puffs...breathe out to a count of 11.

Always try and breathe out more than you breathe in.

Please give it a go and you will stop taking too much oxygen in and slow down the release of adrenaline into your blood stream. This will stop you panicking and if you practise it often enough and make it part of your routine it will start coming naturally. I enjoy it now but I had to force myself in the beginning. The feeling of calmness and peace is addictive lol. Never thought I would be saying this but it does really work . Best of luck Darling ,
