Shortness of breath ! & Air Hunger !!!

 Do you suffer from anxiety?? Millions of people who do also have severe shortness of breath. Have you ever listen to the short audio on proper breathing technique? It’s excellent and has really helped me a lot.   Most people are not breathing properly and don’t get oxygenated like they could be. 

Go to YouTube and search for “

mindfulness breathing guided meditation 10 minutes“ this helps you get better control over your breathing and anxiety.

There are many meditations on YouTube for this plus anxiety, depression, sleep, etc.

I lay down with my earbuds and listen every day and I’m in way better control over my breathing and anxiety now.  

 I also got some counseling for my anxiety and started exercising and eating better. I hope you feel better soon ❤️❤️❤️

Hey SaberWolf, This air hunger you are experiencing is a side effect of anxiety. I myself get this problem too. I know its scary. Telling myself it was anxiety just wasnt cutting it. Too cut the story short i Started taking MAGNESIUM supplents, as well as FISH OIL and VITAMIN D. Taking all of these supplements with food cured my air hunger. Magnesium helpts the muscled to relax, vitamin D is useful for healty hear function. Take thes supplements and you will feel better in a few days. Trust me, this is what I did, 27 years old. 

Sounds like hyperventilation syndrome. I tend to get this when my nose is stuffed up. When you feel it coming on, try to breath through your nose rather than your mouth. When my nose is stuffed up during allergies, I use Vicks Sinex. Also helps to distract yourself. I would notice I didn't have it when I was talking to people, watching a movie, etc. That's because I was distracted from thinking about it. 

You might also want to have your iron levels checked. Low iron can cause it, too. 

Why did the dr put you on Propranolol 20mg if you have no heart or BP problems? Just curious.

I have felt the same. I think your problem is just deficient of vitamin 1. Get a good nutritionist and do blood exams to check if you are deficient of it. 😉??

I'm 21 and have had this problem since July 2017, but I have yet to find an answer... normal PFT, blood tests, EKG, ECG, chest x-ray... I will be trying the magnesium/vitamin D/fish oil supplmentation and chrysanthemum tea. Please let me know if you find anything that helps! 

I feel just like this and I know I’m too young to have it.. I’m even younger then 13.. I don’t know what to do. Even my doctor said everything is normal. Maybe a virus is in the air or maybe I just think about it too much.. my doctor said it might be anxiety 

Mine was Vitamin D and Iron deficiency. Get your levels checked. I searched for a long long time for answers. Hope this helps. This condition sucks and doctors do not seem to acknowledge it could be deficiencies. 

SaberWolf, did you ever get your breathing issue sorted out? Currently going through this. 

Thanks!

ive had this for about 5 years... it usually gets worse when i drink energy drinks!

yep!! had it years. also feel i have to yawn to get my breath or it feels like im trying to get my breathing over something if that makes sense? im fine when exercising! it takes my mind off anxiety alot. i find sitting back on the sofa or slouching makes my breathing worse. feels like my lungs are tiny!
