Hi everyone, I was just curious about how many other people have experienced something similar to this. Little backstory, the past few years have been a little rough regarding health, with a kidney scare and now some kind of autoimmune disease and/or arthritis scare, not to mention a lot of happenings at work...so my stress levels have been awful. I commute about 1 hour and 40 minutes twice a day for work on a commuter train and I've done so for about 3 years now. My girlfriend and I are looking for apartments closer to our office so we can cut that time down by an hour because of the physical and mental impacts its taken on us.
Now that that's out of the way, I've been noticing more and more prolonged bouts of breathlessness, where it feels like i just can't get enough air in. This leads me to actually THINKING about breathing, and trying to make every breath count...which of course leads to what I imagine is anxiousness and fear that something is wrong (heart related specifically). I've been tested before and never had issues , so I'm lead to believe that this HAS to be some sort of anxious reaction. Am I subconsciously making myself freak out when I'm riding home every night? or could it be something related to posture? (The seats are hard as hell and you end up squished up in there).
Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you
