Can stuffy weather spike anxiety?

So I’m watching a dog for a client while on vacation. I went to their house and it was really stuffy and warm! I had to stay there for 30 mins and it just bothered me. I don’t like it warm at all. So now my breathing feels labored. Can anyone relate?

mz_rachel by all means I can relate. That stuffy and warm feeling feels like we are

being smothered, like someone's hand is over our mouth. Of course that's just in

our mind, but our mind is powerful enough to allow us to feel as if our breathing is

labored. When you leave the house try relieving that feeling by standing or sitting

tall, shoulders back as well as down and slowly start your deep breathing exercises.

You will start feeling better shortly. xx

Thank you agora I will definitely try that. It was so scary! I eventually came off of it but still... it feels like forever when during it.

I can understand that. xx
