I am having anxiety about breathing ?

A new problem?: Is this a new problem for you? If you have never had anxiety before it is possible that you have a breathing problem developing such as bronchitis or pneumonia, a blood clot in your lung or another serious problem. I would see a doctor right away. If you have a long history of anxiety then yoga breathing exercises, aromatherapy, meditation / prayer may be helpful.

More info: It is difficult to offer you feedback with the limited information you shared. Please provide more information so I may better assist you.

The more: you "concentrate: on your breathing the more ANXIOUS you will become ..the more anxious you get the faster your breathing!!!! Get it??? Its a "VICIOUS CIRCLE" Hope this helps but speak with your Primary Care Provider for some help with the anxiety part of the circle!!

CBT: Cognitive-behavioral therapy can help immensely with learning to manage anxiety. Consult with a psychologist here on HealthTap or in your community to start the process of developing healthy coping strategies.

Breathing trouble: This is a very common anxiety symptom. One thing you can try is to take regular breaths in cycles of 10 seconds: breathing in for 5 seconds and breathing out for 5 seconds. You can also look online at the HeartMath.com site for help with breathing for anxiety.

Therapy?: Provided there is nothing wrong with you physically, have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety or depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
