Hi peeps, been going through these symptoms that i have described to my doctor as well as another 3. Each time i get told its Anxiety. I have had spirometery tests for working away. Ct scans in brain chest xrays blood tests and of course my blood pressure and heart beat. But i am convinced something is wrong with my health because i get like a shortness in breath and have to take a deep one with a yawn on a regular basis. Its like i know im breathing and not thinking on anything else like my kids and wife. I have read about health anxiety but it dont matter how many times i read my mind dont concentrate on it. Some days it is ok some days is full on. 'My doctor is a surgeon also so im sure he would know.

i have two kids and cant find myself to do things for or with them same as helping people i dont want too.

so i look forward to a post

Hey STP,

The breathing exercise is used for calming anxiety - if it freaks you out, keep doing it. Anxiety is a beast that enslaves your mind - you have to take charge and breathing exercises that force your body to calm down are the first steps to do that.

Keep talking and posting, we’ll get you there, bestest, cheers M 🙂
