I feel like I have anxiety 24/7 and have many symptoms but the one that is driving me super crazy is the one that make s me feel as though I cant breathe at times and its everyday. I feel like I have an icurable disease thats going to take my life. I have 7 chidren and this really worrys me. I received my program and was able to listen to the relaxation cd and the welcome audio. I havent started session 1 as of yet but plan on doing that today.

tracys-just stay with the program and know that there is nothing wrong with you and you are breathing and that everything is okay-when you have anxiety you usually hyperventilate yourself which contributes to dizziness and feeling like you cannot breathe. God Bless You and keep the posts coming there is always someone here to help.

Feeling like you're having trouble breathing is really common with anxiety, although it's always good to be checked by your doctor. I found at times that I had actually been holding my breath for some reason, or breathing so fast I would hyperventilate. Mine was all due to anxiety, and once I realized this (after numerous visits to the Dr.) I was able to come to terms with it and not let it scare me. Once it stopped scaring me, it went away. The relaxation tape will really help. I used it three times a day and especially before I went to sleep. You will see as you listen to the session cds how common this feeling is. Good luck to you with the program. It has benefited me beyond what I had hoped for.

When I hyperventilate I play the relaxation CD at times it is hard to do but I force myself to do it and it does seem to calm me down a bit.

I get that feeling that my heart is racing and i have a tightness in my chest that makes it seem difficult to breathe. I listened to the first audio yesterday and it was amazing, many of the symptoms were me. I feel better just knowing i'm not alone, ya know? Maybe there is hope.
