Shortness of breath terrified all the time!!
Posted , 112 users are following.
What does everybody's shortness of breath feel like? I even feel really really out of breath even when I talk which worries the c**p out of me!
I wake up with it and go to sleep with it every night, I feel I have got to catch my breath every few minutes just to make sure I can get air into my lungs I have this like pulling sensation in the middle of my chest that makes me want to catch it every few minutes which dosnt go away at all which drives me barmy! Also feels like I have something lodged right in the middle of my chest that I'm breathing around awful feeling.
This all started after I had 2 full blown panic attacks 10 months ago and I woke up with all these crazy Symtoms the day after I had them is this normal?
Im on medication mitrazpine and propanolol which I'm thinking of changing the mitrazpine because I was on this while I had these attacks they put me on propanolol the day after I had these attacks 3 a day 40mg and I'm having CBT therapy.
My therapist says I should stop trying to catch my breath all the time as I'm feeding my anxiety but even when I try and stop doing it it will catch itself so I can't win which makes me think there is something wrong with my breathing!
I have tried breathing exercises which don't help. I have had a X-ray which was all good and 3 ECGs which were good and chest lisend to and oxygen levels tested to everytime I'm are the doctors which is always good, I just just can't take this no more!
I feel I'm on the brink here I can't live like this another day😢 Is this ever going to go away? or am I going to feel like this forever I feel trapped in my own body.
I posted this about ten minutes ago but I think it has been deleted for some reason nevermind.

I no it's scary !! the first few weeks or month off it was the worst for me has nothing bad has happened to me . I think it's all down to this stupid covid because I was forever thinking i had it or symptoms ans was gonna die and leave my 3 childreen behind sounds crazy I no yeah lol. But honestly the best thing u can do is get up and try to your best to carry on with daily life styles as laying there is just letting it take over more stop worrying and thinking about it as much as u can tell yourself it's just your anxiouty and that if it was a worse health conditions then something bad would have happened bye now . we're are own biggest triggers !! Just busy your mind away . mine has gotten a little more easy as I now have started to belive it is the anxiouty . I hope eveeyone can feel better soon !

Hi All,
I just recently got developed shortness of breath with all normal .
from APR 05 . After all the tests XRAY , ECG , BLOOD TESTS , COVID ( NEGATIVE ) all doctors says its anxiety .
No clue yet.
Feeling pain in chest bone all over
consulted cardiologist , pulmonologist , gastrentrologist , general medicine finally homeopathy ( back to my family doctor ) .
All says its anxiety only. we need to do yoga , breathing exercise and normal exercise and change the mind
we may thing its wrong but thats what is available to do now.
it may be anxiety or due to food allergy . nothing to worry. yes its tough but u need to believe doctors.
my learnings
right now not to worry much on this . we need to do our regular work by throwing this issue or not to discuss with family

This literally happened to me about a month ago.before the constant shortness of breath I had a panic attack around 2 months ago and went the docs. They did the lot, ecg, xray blood test and everything was perfect to them so gave me a benzodiazapine and i was fine until a month ago i experienced frequent panic attacks daily until one day i woke up and now it feels as though the sensation of breathing has just gone like its such an effort to breathe and my muscles get so tired from trying to force it, ive tried to distract myself but its still there

Hi All,
I am still in this problem from almost when covid stress started.
its unnecessary stress went inside our body unknowingly .
Issue :
shortness of breath all the time + chest bone pain + unable to sleep even though we feel we want to sleep + all reports are normal
All are pointing towards anxiety only. we need to have hope on us and mediation. Unable to lay down and sleep . if we have feeling that we always have shortness of breath or abdomen is moving by taking max air .
Here is the solution. but i am still under testing :
Story :
There was an animal in a village. all the people tried lot and unable to kill that .
suddenly one small boy went to see that animal and tried to attack.
that animal was huge and long.
The moment the small boy approaches that animal , it started reducing in shape. As he move more and more that animal keep shrinking. Do you know what is that animal ? Hope you got it what is that ?
So solution is in our hand. Try to fight or think of fighting instead of listening to it.
if it says dont sit , u sit
if it says dont bath , take bath
if it says dont sleep , dont care you listen some good songs without thinking. trying this approach now. let us see the benefits.
Do yoga daily morning and evening
breathing exerciese morning and evening
