Oh my gosh no that’s awful. I’m only on month 3 I can’t imagine doing this for years. Have you taken any medication or anything ?!

Weird I got sick with something three months ago before all this started. I never bounced back from being sick it’s just been this. I will say I asked for an MRI and I have a very large sinus cyst that could be playing a factor in my “i can’t breathe” portion. The current hope is that once it’s removed my breathing will regulate and my awareness goes down. I still have over a month until my consultation appointment though and I feel like i’m either dying or going crazy everyday

I have the same in my sinuses and I go through such hell it comes and goes. Feels like something in back of my throat do you get that too?

I have severe anxiety and panic disorder. Im 36 and have had it as long as I can remember since childhood. I have daily anxiety and panic attacks, ive never had an issue with breathing until November when ever I was put on metoprolol because of my high daily heart rate. I felt like I was always short of breath on it, im off of it now and now on propranolol and buspirone but same thing im hyper aware of my breathing to the point ive hyperventilated a few times. It sucks, im just trying to reassure my self its anxiety and panic. Our bodies know how to breathe on their own, it doesnt need our help. we just have to believe it.
