Sorry, this probably sounds fake but i'm being serious.
So my question is about how sometimes I just stop breathing and my friends, boyfriend, parent, classmate, etc... have to point it out for me to notice? I don't lie pass out or anything but I just apparently stop breathing and just sort of freeze it.
If I'm in a situation that makes me nervous (extremely so) i'll breathe less. It's not something that I do on purpose, it just happens. Sometimes, it's not so much that I forget to breathe but that I'm too frightened to do so.
It could be related to anxiety. Does it happen in similar situations, when you are feeling a certain way? Take note the next few times it happens and see if you can find a link.
I do this when I'm walking. I only realized this because everytime I'd reach my destination, I'd be struggling to breathe. I think I'm afraid to inhale the pollution, my areas air quality isn't the best.
When someone else has to point it out, I think that's a little extreme. You may want to get that checked out.
I do sometimes when I'm having very dirty thoughts and when I say sometimes I mean all the damn time. Cheers.
This could potentially be dangerous for yourself.
You could be suffering from apnea (typically occurs when you are sleeping or relaxing). You could potentially suffer from brain damage should this continue.
I highly recommend you seek professional assistance.
