Sighing a lot
by bbaggins, Mar 28, 2007 12:00AM
I've noticed lately that I have been "sighing" or taking deep breaths a lot. It only seems to happen when I am at rest. When I am active, I don't seem to do it. I don't have any other symptoms related to breathing troubles. I'm not short of breath, weak, dizzy, nor do I have any chest pains. When I'm active (ie. doing yard work) I don't have any of these symptoms either.
I've got a little problem breathing through my nose, and the doctor has also told me that I have asthma. I also have anxiety and depression.
It hasn't really bothered me in the past, but lately I've been "sighing" every few minutes.
I've tried breathing exercises, but they only seem to work for a few minutes.
Any ideas?

A few weeks ago my son got very sick (stomach bug) and was "sighing" all the time. Even after he got better he continued sighing. I was really concerned and called the doctor. The told me (based on a couple other things too) that these sighs were "compensatory sighs" and can happen when your body is dehydrated. They had me come in with him and they checked his urine. His ketone level was really, really high. He was severly dehydrated! I took him to the hospital for IV rehydration and the sighing stopped within 48 hours.
Just a thought.
