Stress Center Peer Support

i having bad muscle tightness in back and chest making it hard to take deep breathe. i know it is panic and i used to get this from time to time. i'm totally obsessed with not being able to breather correctly. totally sux. I think wishing for it to go away only makes it stay longer. Going on 24 hours now

Hi Hockey, I do believe this will pass. I often, when I feel like I cannot breathe, I almost 'force' deeper breaths which then makes everything hurt...for about 24hrs as well...

Try doing some stretches or yoga. Something to help losen up the muscles slowly.
