Hello! I turn to you because I have posted my question to several sites with no
answer. I have a problem with breathing. I think about it all the time and the
reason is that I feel the breathing is TOO LOW, it is like I can't get a full
breath and my body doesn't move along when I breathe. It gives me a hard time
because I feel like I have some kind of burden in my back. I feel like I have to
gasp for air because the air does not move when I breathe.
It all started a year ago when I had a bad dream about having something in my
throat. Waking up I still had this sensation and started to panic. Anxiety was
growing and growing until I got hyperventilation - I felt very hot in rooms.
Then my breathing suddenly started to CHANGE, I felt I could not go anymore as
high as before. At one point there was extremely HOT until the sensation of
surrounding air changed COMPLETELY. I felt like my breathing was fixed at a
lower level. Two months after the beginning of anxiety my breathing had a final
change, becoming very low. I could not feel the air entering my lungs. It has
stayed like that after the end of last November. I still live but... this kind
of breathing takes all the energy from me, causing extreme tiredness all the
time. Has anyone experienced something like that? The tests do not show there is
something wrong with breathing but I feel this is NOT RIGHT. This thought keeps
creating constant anxiety for me. Have given up physical activities because they
magnify the feeling that I can't get the needed deep breath. Thus I am gaining
more and more weight. I don't have much hope left:(
