I have been diagnosed with anxiety. I just started getting back to myself when I all of a sudden am starting to freak out over my breathing again.
Its hard to explain but:
I know that I am breathing but I can not feel it..is this normal..
I am tired of having panic attacks over it so someone please help!!! Ty
Okay so focusing on it is only exacerbating the problem. She needs begin to think logically and to NOT focus on it so much. Honey I'm a Registered Nurse and I say you'll probably be fine. Do you smoke? If you ARE short of breath or feel any type of lung pain when you're breathing, or develop a cough that you just can't get rid of, then go see a Dr. just to make sure you don't have pneumonia or something. But focusing on your lungs chest rising and falling is not normal.
They mean their stomach muscles. Chill people. It can also be felt in the back and your head.
Do some breathing exercises. Take deep breaths so you can feel your lungs expanding into your back and use your stomach muscles to push the air out in a controlled fashion. In for four counts, hold for four counts, out for for counts: repeat- or 8 counts if you count fast.
Since when does co2 and o2 exchange happen in the stomach??? Lol! Stop focusing on if u can feel it or not. If ur talking, typing, walking or doing anything else that involves conciousness, and your not having episodes of passing out, then I would say you're probably always breathing. Recite this next time u feel that way "God does not give a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind". (& mean it when u say it") hope it gets better.
What! I Feel Myself Breath. You Can Feel Your Stomach Intake Oxygen & Outtake CO2! See Your Doctor, Physiatrist, Or Physic Therapist
Yes, thats PERFECTLY normal. NOONE feels themself breathe. It would be weird if you did.
Relax :)
