I tend to have a hard time breathing OK whenever I am under stress. Any suggestions? Thanks.?

Question

I am currently a bit under stress and I am having difficulty breathing again. I have unsuccessfully tried VERY hard over the years to control this problem to no avail. My doctor sees no problem with my lungs. I am frustrated and scared with this matter. Thanks.

Answer 1

sit up straight and take deep breathes

Answer 2

ya, I think maybe you hyperventilate. I used to do that sometimes
without even knowing it. Stress can do that. Amongst other crap.
I agree ,...that you should try relaxation techniques and perhaps
clonapin, or xanax to help you keep calm. It is a mental thing....
and maybe not a physical one. See if that will help. But you'll most likely have to go to a psychiatrist to get meds and advise.
ALSO.....see if you might have asthma. I had a feeling I had it
years ago, and now I need an inhaler to breathe easier.

Answer 3

Lay off the caffine and take deep breaths for relaxation, try meditating. Sounds like you suffer from anxiety. Learn to relax or this could lead to a bunch of other health problems. Breathe deep.

Answer 4

Ok. Have u tried relaxation tips, such as deep breathing?? closing your eyes while counting to ten? Maybe the doc can prescribe xanax. which is for anxiety.

Answer 5

Try sleeping more than the recommended 8 hours.

Don't take aspirin.
