Chronic Hyperventilation

Tweet

I've researched and researched all over the web trying to figure out what kind of breathing problem I have. It comes and goes, and that is the reason why I was never able to get diagnosed by my doctor. I would have symptoms a few times a week, yet when I would go to my doctor's appointment I wouldn't be having any problems. Anyways, the problem I was having was with inhaling. the only way to kind of explain it is to say that it is the opposite of asthma. With asthma, one has problems exhaling. But my problem was with inhaling. It would get to the point that I was struggling to get a deep breath. And because of this struggle, my breathing would become very shallow. Another symptom was that I was constantly yawning, even when I wasn't tired. So I looked all over the internet and found this thing called Chronic Hyperventilation. What I found out about it was that it was caused by anxiety. After finding this out, I realized that I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks on an almost regular basis. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything about a cure and I don't know if there is one. Maybe the way to fix this problem is to deal with the anxiety itself. I would love any input or advice that anyone could give.
