feels like i can’t breathe

like i can inhale but it’s never enough air no matter how much i breathe in. it still feels like i’m holding my breath, or like the breaths don’t touch the “bottom”. i’m not having a panic attack or anything, i feel like this is a side effect of restriction since it happens after a week or so every time. i’m wondering if it has something to do with poor circulation or not enough oxygen getting to the body because it’s the panicky feeling you get when you’re being suffocated. i’m kind of frantic and wired and shaky for no reason even though i’m also tired as fuck. i know it’s gonna lead to a binge cus it’s just this pressing urgency though i can’t figure out why. it just feels like my lungs don’t work right or something

 

I’ve been through something similar myself, and it turned out to be linked to stress more than anything physical. Did anything change for you after that or help ease the symptoms?

 

Same thing happened to me a few months back—tight chest, short breath—it was super scary. Turned out stress made it way worse. I did tests just to rule out anything serious. A cousin from Romania told me about pneumolog iasi, and they were really helpful in figuring out some breathing issues. If you're still feeling off, it might be worth checking a lung specialist to get peace of mind.
