I Feel Like I Cant Breathe In All the Way Posted: 06-29-06 10:00am
Hello all, this is my first post here.
I'm a bit worried about something, I feel
like I cant take a deep breath all the
way, it started two days ago, but I have
had it happen once before aswell. Im
getting enough air and all, I dont think
its shortness of breath.
It feels like my chest is a bit tight, or
my lungs, I dunno. I feel like the air
isnt going all the way down my lungs and
its very unconfortable and unnerving.
Do any of you know what this is or what
could it be?
Any of you have had the same problem?
Thanks! :)

Yes I have had this once usapatriot. What
I did was concentrate on breathing very
deeply through the nose, to full capacity,
and out through the mouth, to full
capacity. (both are important) one needs
to make sure that the abdomen is being
used for this, not the chest. People who
breathe with the chest are cheating
themselves as this is shallow breathing.
I came right very quickly and I watch it
so that it doesn't happen again.
Sometimes mucous in the lungs prevents
deeper breathing and it is best to still
practice deep breathing and this will help
expel the excess mucous.
Of course you may well have found the
solution by now anyway. I hope so.
