out of breath and anxiety
anyone ever feel like they are out of breath when they have anxiety? like you arent getting enouhg oxygen?
Oh yes! I think it's one of the most common symptoms of anxiety and I also think that most of us here at this forum go through this.
Yes. Breathlessness is a common symptom of anxiety. I frequently hyperventilate when having a panic attack. Try breathing in for a count of four, holding your breath for a count of seven, and exhaling for a count of eight. Pause two seconds and repeat a few times. That technique usually helps me. I hope it helps you, too. You'll be ok.
Yes, me too. I worry whether anyone can hear my breathing getting louder which makes me even more anxious! I then try to talk to myself, with a soothing inner voice to calm myself.
I recently started yoga, maybe this could help you too?
