A member asked:
For some reason if i think that i can't breathe it feels like i can't breathe or if i think that i can't speak it feels like i can't, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
These are not normal: and are probably a representation of anxiety. Arrange for counseling and establish with a health care provider to exclude truly organic issues.
