I have been told I have anxiety. I am currently on meRAB for it. They help relax me but no matter what I do I am constantly worried about my breathing. I am always worried that I am breathing way to slow and eventually something bad is going to happen to me because of it. I am constantly making myself yawn or breath in very very deep to make myself feel as though I am taking a deep enough breath. I also worry when I can not take in a deep enough breath to the point it hurts a little. Because of all this I am in constant fear that I am going to die at any moment. Over all this is driving me insane and I dont know if it's all in my head or not. I've been trying so hard to convince myself that I am fine but it just doesn't seem to work. I am lost and just want to feel normal again. (I've been to the er and the docs 4 times and they said there is nothing wrong with me...for some reason my mind does not want to believe them)
 
i know this feeling! i use to have this too but was able to train my mind and rarely do it but find some situations it can come up again...what you seem to have is almost OCD you obsess about this breathing thing...not much i can tell you other than mind over matter which for most does nothing:( but after a while you have to assure yourself that your breathing is just fine and really find out what the root of your problem really is! Also no one it seems is taking you seriously and you need to find a Dr that can treat and diagnose you and perhaps get you on some meRAB...i would suggest celexa and something to help you relax like xanax.
 
Our mind are very powerful. If you focus too much on a symptom it becomes worse. Is there alot of stress in your life. Sometimes if we have so much to do in our lives or we worry alot about things we tend to focus on our health as a problem rather than face what is going in our lives. I always check my blood pressure because I fear of having a heart attack even though I have been to the doctor for a complete physical. Have you tried meditation, exercising, or yoga? I do acupuncture which has helped me a great deal.
