A member asked:
Is it common, for people with extreme chronic stress / anxiety, to constantly hold their breath / brace their abdomen & forget breath properly? definitely don't hyperventilate but often realise "wow i haven't taken a breath". very lightheaded also?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is often a sign of an anxiety problem. Discuss with your Drs. I have never heard of a patient their breath till them died.
