What Causes Sleeplessness Along With Difficulty In Breathing?
Question: I slept until 4 am not sure what woke me but started to get anxious Breathing again became more problematic.
I seem to be o focus on trying to understand if there is a relationship between my belly breathing and small airways obstruction from inflammation.
If the constriction from the inflammation affects whole lung, will my body try to find the area of lung that Works easiest or expands first then try to fill the rest. Would that be why I feel expansion into stomach and feel pressure on lungs?
This may be a confusing question but I am trying to understand why certain areas expand and others are not so much
Oh. Good day

When I breath, I find that I automatically belly breathe. I notice that when I take a breath my belly is being pushed out more than it used to or seemed to.
Airway inflammation constricts airways and make harder for air in and out. When inflamed, will the lungs try to let air fill in the area that is easiest or least constricted. Or restated if there is more open space in belly , will it try to fill there first when inflammation is present

Brief Answer:
Yes, air will go first in easy airways.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
Now I can understand your concern.
Yes, air will go first in the area where it find least resistance.
So it is possible for you to get more air in lower lungs as you feel more inflammation in upper airways.
But I believe that this is only your perception.
You are feeling belly movements more because of more fat in belly as compare to upper chest.
Hope I made my point clear.

Multi Tasker in you is started his work.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
So on a lighter note, multi Tasker in you started its work. Ha ha ha.
Sorry if you feel bad.
Honestly speaking, more belly fat makes lesser expansion of lower parts of lungs.
This is the reason why obese patients develop more pneumonia in lower parts of lungs.
So I don't know what you try to say by your last line.
Please fill free if you think opposite of what I am saying.

You answered what I was saying, I meant that the belly fat pushes on the lungs.
If airway inflammation is tight and belly is pushing on lungs I am having hard time breathing.
That is possible is it not. That both inflammation and belly fat are working against me.

I have not over the past 3 days, I need to again.
So let me get this right,
lose belly fat and will ease pressure
Relax and inflammation will leave and upper and lower airways will ease and breathing should improve.
Remember when I mentioned the anxiety I had when I got in trouble with my father for doing something bad? When i had that anxiety, i would get a nervous stomach with a tummy ache feeling. I have had that lately because of stressing so much. Just in this last thread I have started to feel less stomach ache feeling.
Overcoming my ills sounds to easy. I best go celebrate and eat eat eat !!!! lol lol
So my turn, to use up space on this question (not the thread but the question) How has your day been, It must be about 5:30 pm or near that

Well if my analysis on previous question sounds reasonable, then I will be in a state of comfort and healing, If I am left uncertain than I will be in a state of discomfort.
So, would my analysis be correct regarding belly fat pushing, and inflamation constricting. so I should shrink belly and relax?

Sorry to anger you, I too get angry with myself but I am always at worry. My guess is because I seem to not feel better as i think i should so my worries get worse.
The discomfort comes from sitting here and feeling my belly push against lungs and makes breathing uncomfortable. The discomfort kicks in worry. So to stop the worry, I look for the answer to what I hope is the issue , the issue other than anxiety

First I am not feeling bad,
I have been feeling pressure on lungs for a while now, it seems to have gotten more noticeable lately. Maybe I just think its worse, I have no scale to step on but it is possible that my diet and lack of exercise has caused abdominal-lung discomfort.
