cant get a full breath of air?

Question

in 6th grade i absolutely could not get a full breath of air, i felt smothered, and the more i tried the more frusturated i got.

7th grade i cant really remember anything.

8th grade i complained to my grandpa about it and he took me to the doctors. the doctor checked my lungs and goes "your breathing is pefectly fine, its all in your head, go home and rest" which made me wicked upset that he wasnt doing anything about it and it was really bugging me so i pretty much had an anxiety attack, shaking and hyperventilating and he basically just bothered me asking "WHATS WRONG" "is it a friend?" "is school too hard?" but absolutely nothing was bothering me.

9th grade i was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. and my psych told me i couldnt breathe because of this.

i got put on risperdal for a psychosis and it didnt realy work, but when they over medicated me to the point where i was pretty much a zombie i could finally get a full breath of air.

i've tried breathing techniques but they just frusturate me even more because they dont help.

10th grade ALL MY ANXIETY IS GONE. but yet, i still cant breathe. sometimes it makes me start hyperventilating because it makes me so aggervated.

how could i get my breathing back without over medicating myself? im only 15 and i hate medication.

Here is a excersize to help build your breathing capacity.

1.Find a Nice comfortable place in your home or outdoors where the air is comfortable, not too cold , and not too hot or warm.

2.Find a comfortable place to sit with your legs loose, and arms able to relax fully, and dangle at your sides, like a comfortable chair, or stool.
Or if you choose to sit on the floor, place a folded blanket under your bottom and gently cross your legs Indian style. Or in a position to where you can sit with your back as straight as is comfortable for you, like back against the wall and legs straight out infront of you, or in a straight back chair with back arched slightly but comfortably).

3. relax your shoulders, turn your head from side to side loosen those neck muscles, shake your fingers out in front of you, and take long slow deep breaths while doing all of the before mentioned.
Make sure to inhale in your nose filling up all of your tummy, which is called breathing from your diaphram, then top off your lung capacity.

4. Now as your inhaling your entire breath, and as you come to the end of your breathe, force or shove it out of your lungs fast, pulling in your stomach muscles as you blow the breathe out, in like a wave like motion.

5. By continuing this exercise daily your breathing capacity will become more proficient, and you will find your self breathing slowly and deeply, on a automatic, as we are supposed to, anyway.

Answer 4

you might have asthma or some other breathing problem. or maybe you are still anxious and just don't realize it. meds are a good thing if they work. klonopin is good for anxiety. see a doctor - preferably a pulmonary one.

Answer 5

When you breath out, you're not getting out all the air... so when you inhale, it's not enough.

Breath out longer, and you need a pause because it allows air to escape without force.

Do this... and you'll be OK.

Answer 6

you have asthma. seek a doctor immediately.
