Yes. I get this alot. I just try to ignore it cause the more you pay attention to it the worse it gets. Focus on other things you are doing. Bob

thank you, reassurance helps me immesnly. i'm so sick of the physical symptoms becuase they set off my anxiety.

thats part of it i went threw it i ignored it after i aske myself over and over what is wrong with me now?" when i learned about Anxiety , on another board a person at the age of 68 told me how to retrain my negative thoughts and think of something good when we lose that mental enbalance this how we pay for it

Yeah, I get this too. I've found that vitamin B12 shots or tablets can help sometimes. It's a symptom that kinda feels worrying, but it's all just part of that lovely package of symptoms that make up our anxiety and/or panic disorder. :-|

I have been getting this very same thing lately. It's like all of the sudden I have to stop and take a breath or i'll suffocate. I was letting that take me to full blown episode but am getting better at it with self talk. Telling myself that "no, I'm not going to die and have a heart attack. I just need to relax for a few minutes and concentrate on slow breathing." That seems to be helping me. and i hear ya, it does drive ya crazy huh? every day a new journey! Hang in there

i too am having the same problem with my breathing,is there anything else that can help...i felt like i was the only one feeling this way until i found this site. i just need to hear from others that know what im going through for support.

No your far from alone on this one .. it will pass !! i can promise you this ... but try to ignore it ..keep your mind focused else where not on your symptoms .. follow a path that makes you feel Happier or more so relax'd!!! if you relax your mind ... you can relax the Anxiety symptoms when your breathing acts up? do breathing excersises breath in threw your mouthy and exhale out your nosey..!!

Yes, I have gotten this sympton many times without any other symptoms accompanying it. I have learned to ignore it mostly, though sometimes its hard. I wish you luck. Many know how you feel.

i feel the same way! i wrote earlier about this as well...i am not necessarily feeling anxious or panicky, but suddenly i will get these physical symptoms that set off my panic and anxiety. its been going on for a few months and i am having a hard time dealing with it myself. i feel like i have to remember to breathe or else i won't...i understand how worrisome it can be. my doctor said its the anxiety...not sure how to get rid of it.
