I have really bad anxiety and now on a daily basis I have this feeling like I am just going to stop breathing so I have to catch my breath. Some times when I fall alsleep I feel as if I am going to stop breathing just a bad sensation.It is just a really bad feeling. I have gone to the ER for this but they said I was fine my oxygen levels were perfect. I have had chest xrays and cat scan of my chest and everything was great.It still bothers me though I just hate the feeling. Anxiety is not joke. Does anyone else feel this way? I just wish I could get back to my old self!!!!!!
i went through this too, i even rang the doctor up a couple of times asking that if i didn't get a deep breath would i stop breathing!
luckily u won't stop breathing as your body won't allow it like the reader above said, even if u pass out which u won't, u will come around again, your body does it unconsciously and u actually have to struggle to stop breathing.
I got into this nasty pattern whereby i would take a big breath every few breaths as i thought i would stop breathing too-it was wierd-like trying to catch your breath...boy does anxiety make u do some strange things!!!!
