I was wondering if anyone else has a hard time breathing normally at times? I don't mean like asthma, but, just feeling like you have to think about breathing. Maybe it is anxiety or something, but, right now it just feels like if I stop making myself breath I would suffocate! Help!

I sometimes catch myself holding my breath without knowing it, but it isn't as severe as your symptom. You should definitely talk to you doc about it.

I can't say that I have that. I do notice that I have a hard time taking a deep breath. I agree with Lori, I would put a call into your doctor.

I often have a hard time taking a deep breath - especially if I tired and trying to lay down and go to sleep. Usually end up in the recliner. Had this checked out several years ago, but nothing significant found.

I agree that a call to the doctor would be best. Don't mess around with the breathing.

One thing, taking pain meds can affect the breathing. Have you noticed a connection between increased pain meds and difficulty breathing?

Gentle Hugs,
Carla

I can relate to what you are saying!

However, I have asthma too, so I don't know if it's asthma related or not.

Thanks for the input everyone! I know I should see a doctor, but I don't have insurance, and it seems like when I do go to a doctor they never find anything. I,m not on any kind of presription medicines. I'm just tired and frustrated about all this and don't know what to do, so I guess I'll just keep going. cherryhdmom

cherryhdmom,I know what you mean, sometimes it's like I have to think "breathe in,breathe out, almost like a reminder. I don't know what it's related to I just go with it and remind myself to breathe. Maybe it's the fibrofog,and it's just a really bad thing to forget.
May life always bring you laughter.

I agree with you. I have to remember to breathe. All of a sudden I will let out a big sigh. My family freaks are you ok? Yes I was just remembering to breathe.
