Hi,
i posted something about this not that
long ago. I suffer fom anxiety really
badly. I also have post traumatic stress
disorder due to losing my father
unexpectedly at the age of 14. I am 24
and a mother of one little girl who is
going to be 4 soon.
I have a strange thing though. I pay
attention to my breathing and it gets all
screwed up. I then breathe like half way
in and hold it for a minute and then
breathe half way out. I can't really
explain it. It sounds easy to stop, but
it has become a big problem. I am
wondering if anyone knows what I am
talking about? Pleasae any answers or
advice are welcome!!!

i think I know what you are talking
about.I got asthma but for the past couple
of years it hasn't been a problem. I can
breath normally but if someone ask how i'm
breathing and I start thinking about it I
don't breath normal. I'll take lil breath
and then gasp for air. I really hate when
that happens.But I do suffer from sleep
apnea. I don't know if thau is a fator.

You Have a Serious Untreatable Vascular Problem Posted: 09-16-04 06:03am
Shortness of breath is very serious and
implies that you
probably have a heart problem and fibrotic
lungs due to
congenital arterial insufficiency
(abnormal arterial development
that is not sufficient for body
sustenance).
Trying to re-educate you breathing pattern
is out of question
because breathing, like hunger, thirst and
sexual functioning is
not a cognitive problem but actually a
visceral feature of your body.
I have heard accounts in which people are
being committed to
psychiatric hospitals just to hide their
suffering. I think that
prognosis for this disease is very bad,
especially that the doctors
do not care the way you die. They would
rather sit there and do
nothing even if you decompose in a
(psychiatric) hospital bed.
I just hope that is not your case. Good
luck!
