I got rid of all my anxiety symptoms but the one I keep having is shortness of breathe. Feeling like I can't breathe properly and everytime I talk it feels like it's taking too much of my air. It's scary

      No just the fact that it only happens when I have really bad anxiety. I pay attention to when my symptoms happen. Whenever I'm busy, distracted and without anxiety my chest is totally normal. Then when I start thinking about it and getting anxious my chest gets sore and tight again.

      It just means you're having anxiety in your sleep is all. I had that happen for a few months. If X-rays will make you feel better then do it, but you are okay!

      Thanks that really helps me..ya I'm thinking of going for the chest x ray..it's just really sore and tight..even if I dontake think much about it..every night before I sleep I tend to think of the soreness I will get the next morning so it makes me slightly worried and anxious before I go to sleep..

      Yep that's exactly what I did. And of course, I made it happen. It's really horrible, I know. But you will learn to tell yourself, hey it's just anxiety and I'm making myself do this.

      Oh definitely. It took me a few years to overcome all my symptoms. I still haven't overcame the shortness of breath and breathing problems.
