Panic can cause hyperventilation . When hyperventilating you take breaths at the top of your lungs which is inefficient .
When you feel hungry for air stop trying to breath in - try to BREATH OUT FULLY .
LOOK UP BREATHING excercises .
When you hyperventilate a lot you can overwork the muscles in the chest and upper back
As per other posts , talk to your GP and look up cruse bereavement .
Memories of happy times are to be cherished as gifts your mother gave you not cried at . You being unhappy for a long time is not what she would want .
Put some of the photos objects and reminders away , make your flat or house 'your own ' not a shrine to mum.
Do things for your self that would make her proud - like getting up washed dressed and looking after yourself , cooking healthily , excercising and looking out for your sibling . .
Take care
