Anxiety. Am I the only one with this particular symptom?

Permanent aerophagia. It means I always gulp air, sigh regularly to take a deep breath. Consequently my stomach is always really bloated and it constricts my lungs. All doctors tell me it's anxiety and it's become a subconscious habit now. But in turn I've become obsessive about breathing and it's a cycle: I crave air, gulp, get bloated, crave air, gulp again.

Anyone else???
