I know this teenages (18) who lives in korea and i have been talking to him for a while..He mentioned to me that he has a illness ( or an illness that effects him mentally). He said that the illness causes him to pay attantion to things we usually wouldn’t pay any attantion too...for example when we breathe...we breathe without thinking about it...but he cant do that...he said that he needs to recognize when to take a breathe and when to release it...he said he is having a problem with his every action in a mental way. He also said that the condition effects his whole nervous system.
He has seen many doctors in Korea and none seem to know what the problem is exactly.
If anyone can help this would be greatly appreciatd as i want to help him very much...if you have any ideas or any way to help please give me some information or tell me what you know or think the problem may be...
Thankyou very much

What i meant about breathing was...that when he breahtes he unintentionally focuses on it....so normally we wouldnt notice that we are breatheing..or even think about it...but he seems to need to pay attention to everything thats happening to his body...and he also mentioned that he is loosing control of his normal body funtions...eg..move arm..move leg and so on

I don't know what your friend's problem could be, but it is so amazing to know that you are willing to help him out. There are few people in this world that would do what you are doing for him. I wish there were many more like you who don't just think about themselves. I hope that your friend will be able to find out what is wrong with him. God bless you and I will keep you and your friend in my prayers.

In-spite of what we hear hear in the USA, Korea has some very good doctors.
But just like the US, their are many who can not afford to seek medical help.
Unless a US doctor examines him, the only thing we can do is what you are doing now.
Communicating with him and wishing him the best.
But hon, I know from personal experience, sometimes this is a scam...and they are hoping to touch your heart strings enough so that you will send them money....do not send any for any reason...it is a scam and you will loose more than you will gain.
Keep in mind, most of these people who ask for money will use it to buy drugs with and that could have consequences for you when they get caught.
Do you want to go to jail here in the US for supporting a drug user or worse, a terrorist?

i know how he feels. anxiety can cause some strange symptoms and breathing-which for most is a natural bodily function no one pays attention to.
Panic Attacks are not fun. As for the disease he has, I do not know what it is called, but it is definately a CNS issue.
Neurologic diseases are not fun. Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

Sounds like something going on in the central nervous system or maybe its a extreme form of OCD, or maybe a combonation.
I hope he gets better, and all I can say is for him to try to see more doctors.

Tell this guy to get some B12-B6 for the nervous system and melt the vitamins under his tongue.
I think this is all in his brain and there is nothing really wrong with this dude. He is playing on your sympathy.

could be his lungs, ashma, or his heart also could cause breathing. I know when my dad had a heart condition, he could not beath very well. He might be scarred and thinks that he has to breath, and could be something different.
