breathing is one of those things when you think about it becomes a bit strange. Try not to think about it, it's better to let the body do that thinking for you.

Do you think the agitation is bipolar?

Sounds like anxiety (which is not BP) I'd get to the ER unless your doc will call in a script for you.

I've had a lot of anxiety in the past and my doctor told me that she believed it was a result of the bipolar disorder. She tweaked my dosages to help.

Breathing exercises help and my sister always recommends doing a powerpose when my agitation or anxiety affects my breathing. Sometimes it helps, but you have to believe it will.

I guess that's anxiety , I had a panic attack once , it was no fun .
Try breathing exercises or just sit down calmly and think of nothing , meditate if you know how or do yoga. I'm sorry I'm not very helpful I know .

That sounds like anxiety. Try some deep breathing, and the fresh air also helps too. Feel better.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
