Not able to breathe without thinking about it......?!
Question:
Not able to breathe without thinking about it......?
Im not able to breathe at all without thinking about it. I keep taking in deep, deep breaths and my friends have been watching me when im not paying attention, and realized im not breathing properly. I went to the hospital this morning and they said I was perfectly healthy.... And it also feels like im not getting enough oxygen to my head because I've been having extreme headaches. I still dont understand why im doing this. It's like I cant breathe at all without telling myself to. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

I noticed that i did that for the first time when i was pretty young. as i got older, i had certain times when i wouldnt be able to get "that" deep breath that i needed and i thought i was dying. so twice i went to the emergency room twice, i was perfectly fine and was getting exactly the right amount of oxygen. finally, it was determined that it was panic attacks and anxiety.i dont take medication, though i have in the past, its not something i want to deal with everyday, so i just deal with it on my own, which can be a ***** sometimes. i find that if you are having trouble, just turn your mind somewhere else for a second and you will be able to take your deep breath, or forcing a yawn helps too.
