Does anyone suffer with 24/7 breathing trouble but NOT shortness of breath due to anxiety? I feel like my inhales arent entering my airways and going down properly if that makes sense. i dont feel as if its anxiety even though Dr says it is. It doesnt feel normal and im Struggling to cope. Can anyone help?

you don’t have to have shortness of breath or anxiety to affect how your breathing feels. Anxiety acts differently with different people. It doesn’t feel normal because maybe you are breathing more shallow, etc. I highly recommend that you listen to mindfulness meditation for breathing on YouTube. There are hundreds of them. Breathing properly is the key to calming down anxiety. Even if you’re not anxious it helps you feel like you’re breathing is normal again.

i dont think anyone understand the sensation of difficulty breathing I feel when breathing in. It feels like the air isn't entering in through my nose or mouth properly and its constricted when travelling to my lungs. It doesnt feel shallow or anything that I've seen other people have. Its hard for me to meditate and focus on my breathing as it makes it worse but thank you x

Please look into "Chronic Hyperventillation Syndrome" - I have all of your issues plus more and this is what I was diagnosed with. You do not realise how your breathing is unnatural and it takes a while to re-train it again but it is really worth you looking into x

Did you have the issues with inhaling and like the air isnt travelling through your nose or mouth properly? I did speak to a consultant and they said the same but I didnt feel like I identify with the other symptoms as it doesnt really feel like the difficulty is within my chest if that makes sense. I'm really struggling feels like theres a narrowing or something and my breathings going to stop going in. I cant leave my room or anything as im too frightened. Its horrible, sorry you have the same 😦 what do you do to cope? Really appreciate your comment. Thank you x
