Breath work - when you feel you can't take a deep breath!

It's not uncommon to feel like you can't take a really deep breath in, but there are simple things that will help you not only relax, but improve your breathing too!

For everyone on here who is panicking about not getting a deep are breathing too much! When you panic and over do it breathing, your body wont let you take that deep as long as possible and will feel like you are suffocating but trust you will get that deep breathe. Anxiety and panic are a bitch!

Ok but I have this feeling everyday all day . Even when relaxed . I have experienced this for months . I can’t inhale all the way it’s so weird . I refuse to believe it’s just anxiety .

Hey everyone in the comments! I’m just stopping by every video I watched in regards to this issue because I was dealing with this 2 weeks ago and I finally feel relieved of it, although it can come and go depending on how I’m feeling but I wanted to share that it CAN go away and it will. For me, I tried everything by going to the doctors and everyone would say nothing was wrong with me so I am heavily praying about it and seeking therapy to help deal with the unknown causes. I believe that body, mind and spirit are all connected so I’ve been doing my best to work more on my mind and spirit to help relieve this issue that no one else seems to understand except for people in these comments and it has helped tremendously. I hope this helps someone! -Glory

Guys listen, dont panic, there might be two reasons you cant take a full satisfying breath, 1) anxiety 2) acid reflux . If you are sure its not anxiety then its 100% acid reflux. Its when your stomach acid backs up in the esophagus and damages it. It makes a person feel like they cant get a deep breath or theyre not getting enough oxygen or their chest feels heavy. To treat this take omeprazole to control acidity, it might take weeks to months depending upon the severity if the condition but dont stop taking omeprazole it really helps. I still have this problem but the omeprazole made it much much much better. I still havent recovered completely...slowly but surely i AM recovering and soon this problem will be gone hopefully.

OH MY GOODNESS, you ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT!! I was working earlier with other breath videos, but THANK YOU for the clarification of focusing on the breath OUT and blowing out slowly. THIS WAS KEY, thank you!!

Thank you so much, I didn’t realize I was feeling so much stress. Even now I’m still experiencing hard breathing. But definitely not as bad. Gonna try this and I’m sure it’ll help!

I have had this for years. It is difficult to live with but I have had breakthroughs. For sharing sake, a lot of it seems to be muscle tension - not realizing how hard i constrict my chest and neck. The other thing seems to be bad habit of irregular breathing - this can cause elevated levels of carbon dioxode which cause the discomfort... im still figuring it out though. Thanks for the video.

I have been experiencing this problem of taking deep breath and yawing for long time more than 15 years i don't know the real cause for sure but it happens when i am worried, stressed and angry. Sometimes it get worse that i even can't move my hands and legs. When i see doctors they say there is nothing wrong with me it's just anxiety. It always lasts max for 3-4 days but this time it have been 2 weeks and it didn't stop i started to worry but tnx to this video it helps alot.

I have had this problem too for over 5 months. I am 22, in good physical shape, and with a good mind and spirit.
have checked this problem with doctors and they didn't have an answer. It's not cardiac or asthma.
I noticed my problem started a few months after starting to work out at the gym and therefore think it's connected. After watching some videos about it I think I may breathe wrong while exercising. I split my inhales and do it gradually and also not breathing at the right time of exercise.
I recommend you to take strong and fast inhales as they may strengthen your lungs. Finally, my doctor suspects it may be connected to the stomach as it occurs more often after meals and I saw a comment here sayinging it is 100% acid reflux, so I will his treatment try.

This is me! I feel like I can’t take a deep breath every few minutes especially when sitting. I have long covid for the past 15 months.

Just watched the video (first time for any videos from you) and it does help to deep breathe slowly in and out. I sit too much also and often I will walk back and forth in my apartment at night just to get my mind off of the anxiety and help my digestion move as I think this also hinders breathing at things back up and restrict your diaphram. I struggle with this all the time and it's a scary thing when you feel like you can't breathe. I've had to call helplines with anxiety attacks and basically they get you to deep breathe in and out. It helps. Thanks.

I have been having this problem for about 8 months now. I just constantly get this urge to take a deep breath or yawn. And when I can’t get the deep breath (which happens a lot) then I start panicking.

[alvinkim]

This is outstanding! Thank you, so much!

[denysperez]

Are you suggesting to inhale and exhale through the mouth?

[Vulnyx]

I’ve been looking for this video my whole life 😩😭

[johnsnow]

Will doing these exercises inevitably change breathing patterns?

[mustaqahamed]
