feeling like you are getting no oxygen out of the air you are breathing and it makes you almost gulp trying to breath deeper and more but you are able to take in all the air you took in before.....for some reason you just can't get the oxygen out of it!

I've often thought that it was almost like having an embolism in the lung!

With Him we "live" no matter the circumstances. At His feet peace of mind can be found. Peace that passes all understanding is my quest now and forever.

"The LORD bless you and keep you;the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

When I have it, it is an insane desire to breathe in deeper even when there is no room left for air in my lungs. I keep drawing breath after breath until I can get one deep enough that my chest almost hurts. Yawning helps. It doesn't happen all the time, just a couple times a week, but when it happens it feels awful until I can get a good deep breath.

I also get the air hunger when it is HOT or when I have gotten hot from moving around or something. I also suffer when I take a hot shower/bath.

A lot of times I get air hunger pretty severe after eating too much.

The best feeling when that happens is to sit with cold air blowing into my face..It calms me down and helps me to breathe.

I think sometimes when the air hunger strikes it causes me to panic a little.
