Can't get enough air into my lungs - anxiety

[unmumsymummy21]

What can I do ? Any advice ? I'm fine when distracted. But when I think about it, I have the sensation of needing to breathe and just can't get enough air.

I used to get this really bad, the worry of not knowing why made it worse. I had a lung X-ray and nothing found. Over time I began to accept it was my anxiety and nothing else. Now I very rarely experience it and if I do, I just try and focus on something else to distract myself and before I know it, I’m breathing ‘normally’ again. Once I accepted it, it became easier to cope with. I hope you’re feeling better soon.
