Breathing issues for months

[Ggirlangel93]

Lately ive become so frustrated because i just want my breathing issues to go away. Its been 6 months of shortness of breath and its been hell. Last night i got hardly any sleep cause i found myself manually breathing. I feel like my anxiety is debilitating me. I worry all day long that something terrible is going to happen. I cant seem to get out of this vicious cycle. Everyone tells me i need to work on it...i should try things to better myself but for some reason i don't. I have such a negative attitude especially when it comes to trying new things. Can these breathing issues everyday for the past 6 months really be caused by too much stress/anxiety? I can't seem to let go of the fear that i have a disease causing it. Yesterday i spent hours googling about asthma thinking maybe its that but i don't have wheezing or coughing so idk. I feel like i have more symptoms of chronic hyperventilation syndrome. I feel frustrated too because i feel like im running out of medical tests to have done. If i go to the hospital they are gonna do the same tests i have already had done. It makes me feel like im going crazy cause my tests come back normal and my doctor said im healthy yet the symptoms are real and awful

Not sure if similar but I go through periods of time that my breathing sucks. I feel like I can’t get a full breath in, if that makes sense.
And it happens for an extended time, all day. Couple of weeks.

Ugh that sucks. My breathing issues feel different and change alot from day to day. Somedays like you i feel like i can't get a full breath in. Other days i feel more winded...it will feel like i ran up a flight of stairs or ran a mile when i didn't. And then sometimes at night i find myself rapid breathing/manually breathing. Its so frustrating and everyday is unpredictable

You should read the panic switch by jeff hammes. I had this for a few years and still do sometimes and the advice in the book really turned things around for me. It addresses this very issue and facing it. Also, Hope and Help for your Nerves by Claire Weekes.
