Ok,sometimes i focus so much on the way i breathe that i start to feel like i can hardly breathe. I don't know if it's normal, does it happen to you guys?

Yes, that happens to me sometimes and it's so annoying, or I'll focus on my heartbeats and then I get palpitations.  I think it's a pretty normal reaction because those functions are controlled by the unconscious part of your brain, and when you focus on them your conscious brain is trying to take over.  Don't sweat it!

well... i don't know what is wrong with me all of a sudden but it seems like since i got pregnant i have asthma or something and my through feels like my tubes are all puffy inside so when i laugh when i'm out of breath i sould like mutley on that old racing cartoon. there's like barely any noise coming out, it just sounds like wheezing.

Yes, It is perfectly normal, It happens to me a lot. It's where your body needs to move or when you feel really happy/ excited.

Do you feel overwhelmed? I know when I was in school, I constantly worried about my grades and exams and I felt OVERWHELMED. When I felt overwhelmed, I couldn't concentrate and I didn't feel like doing my homework etc.\n\nSo, I did my homework a little bit at a time. I studied for short periods of time and that helped some with being overwhelmed.\n\nIF you don't feel overwhelmed, maybe you're choosing the wrong major to study. Do you feel excited about classes? If not, maybe you need to take some different classes to mix things up and explore.

I have been on the swim team for a long time and im 3rd in the state at breast stroke, but i still know about freestyle. i usually dont think about how many strokes i take before a breathe. i think if u just do whatever feels comfortable you will have 1 less thing to think about so you go faster. When i first hit the water I'll usually take 4 or 5 strokes before i take a breathe cuz im so pumped up.

Sounds like panic attack to me.  Same thing happened to me.  Brought on by stress although I didn't feel stressed.  I fyou don't deal with stress properly or productively, then your body will in its own way

I agree, I usually just try to control my breathing!

Aha, I sense some "feelings" stuff here... ;-)\n\nYou now feel like you don't used to be, or simply because you're wanting more because you're starting to feel something...\n\nBe open and just be OPEN my friend. It will answer all your questions and FREE you from all anxieties.

yeah controlling your breathing helps a  lot and mind power is the key. you CAN control when you go with your mind. weird i know but thats what my boyfriend does. hope this helps! :D

Oh ardent one, I hope I understand your question.  I know I'm ahead of the game because it didn't cross my mind, you'd want a boyfriend.  I help people deal with various issues in life and I have noticed that when they realize something or they get a release of sorts, they often yawn.  I find it fascinating.\n\nDo I notice a particular emotion just prior to yawning?  Yes, on the rare occasion that I feel intimidated, I notice I yawn.

I'm going on about 5 months now, just remember to keep your eye on the ball.  When I start to loose focus, I take a deep breath and think of how I was unable to do that without coughing when I was a smoker.

Right before you have an asthma attack it feels like you're hyperventilating and you can feel your chest start to tighten up... and when you breath it feels like you can't get enough air into your lungs... and when you start having the attack you have a really hard time breathing... it's just like trying to breath through a straw... and... for me, my asthma only acts up when I get a cold... never a sinus infection... I hope this helps!!!

Wow I have been to the point where I was on a vent also.  I have to admit I don't take care of my asthma the way I should.  I should take advair and I don't.  I give you all the credit in the world for keeping up with your medicine.  I do know how you feel, no one knows how much stress and anxiety you go though when you can't breath if they don't have respiratory problems.  \n\nI don't know if you live in a large populated area, but do you think it may be your environment??? Might be too much pollution around you.  Also keep a journal of what caused your attacks, write down what you were doing and where.  Keep track of the time of day, what you were doing and maybe you can find a trend  and avoid the situation in the future.  \n\nBy all means if you are depressed over your asthma contact a counselor or your doctor.  If you are stressed that can bring on another attack.  \n\nI too try to keep my sense of humor.  Both of us are here to stay and it will take more than a bad lung or two to keep us down....lol\n\nGood luck!

In my opinion you don't mess around when you talk about when it hurts to breathe and not going away because it could be something serious. Go see your doctor tomorrow.

Being in the air conditioning hurts my chest pretty bad, I can't be in it for too long. They say you shouldn't take any chance with chest pain though. Does it happen at any particular time of the day, or when you're doing anything? Do you get short of breath or dizzy or have any other symptoms? It could just be something as simple as angina or stress, but it's best to have it checked out.

I might breath differently than you, but I expand my lungs unconsciously allowing air to fill them up. I then exhale mostly carbon dioxide. I breathe more profusely when I exercise. The oxygen I take in burns calories but may cause me to rust inside. That is why I take  vitamins so my breathing will be better Breath is life, unless it is bad breath. But that is another story.
