What Causes Breathing Difficulties In Stressed Individuals?
for the last several days I have woken up with feeling that I am not getting enough air into my lungs, and I therefore get anxious and try to take sudden (chest) breaths to get the proper sensation. after a few days of this, i went thru what I believe was my first ever panic attack and went to ER. they took chest xrays and performed EKG-- both indicating satisfactory results. the problem however has persisted. I am watching countless diaphragm breathing exercises too. I am also seeing a chiropractor and will see an Ear nose throat specialist too. I am also a stressful person who worries constantly and perhaps I have learned to breathe wrong.
Thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion your symptoms are mostly related to stress and anxiety because your chest x ray and ECG are normal. So no need to worry much for organic causes. Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to discuss all your problems and worries with him. And find out solution for them. You may require anxiolytic drugs too. No harm in taking these drugs as newer drugs are safe and not habit forming. So better to avoid stress, tension and too much thinking. Be relax and calm. You will be alright, don't worry.
