Hi there,
I know shortness of breath, tightness of chest and even throat are common symptoms of anxiety.. But I was wondering if anyone else has a problem like this..
Whenever I think about my breathing, I become hyper conscious of it and somehow forgetting how to breath normally causing myself to be extremely light headed. When I do not think about my breath I breathe normally... and so when I start to think about it I try to get myself not to but I end up taking either too long of breaths or not enough. It sounds crazy but it happens randomly to me... and eventually I start to feel like I cannot breath deep enough and it takes a while to distract myself and stop..
Anyone out there have this too?
