For two days solid I am really struggling. I feel like I cant breathe unless I take deep breaths or yawn. I am constantly needing the urge to yawn or my breathing does not feel real. When I take deep breath or yawn I get the satisfaction which only lasts seconds and then the feeling keeps coming back.
What is this? What is causing this? It all started two days ago when I was sat driving I just felt the need to do it but now ever since its constant.
I cant take this PLEASE HELP ME WHAT DO I DO?????

yes I know what you were talking about I have had that in the past and still due to some extent. I know mine is due to anxiety. Have you had a complete physical check up including your lungs? If not, start there first. If they can’t find anything wrong then you’ll have to work really hard and breathing control day by day.
are you an extremely anxious person? Is anything going on in your life that could cause this?

Please please please consider therapy. It really will help with your OCD. And remind yourself you breathe normally in your sleep, so it is your active mind playing tricks on you.

i have this! Few days after my covid vaccine, I got a panic attack where I couldn't breathe. And since then, the issue has persisted. I feel a tight band around my chest preventing it from expanding. I feel like even though I'm inhaling, I'm suffocating. It just doesn't feel like enough air. My breathing muscles feel tired from trying too hard. It only gets better if I can really distract myself. Have you tried CBT? Therapy has helped me accept that this is anxiety. Although when the sensations start, it is awful, and hard to stop. You can also think about low dose meds, as that has helped with the breathing problem for a few. It's been a while since you have posted this. How are you feeling now?
