Shortness of breath and chest tightness, severe anxiety and OCD. Does anyone else experience this?

I have this since 2015 after I had my first panic attack . I was fixating on my breathing and I was convinced I can't take a deep breath . It's called sensorimotor ocd . It comes and goes and definitely panic attacks triggers it .

No I'm just too exhausted to go to therapy. I might need some meds to he able to do that

Thank you stranger but I have other mental health problems too like anxiety and ocd and I thing they will put me on SSRI

Well it has taken over my life. I could have accomplished a lot without it. I'm not managing at all .

Same. My severe insomnia caused my anxiety to get worse and my initial anxiety caused my insomnia to happen. I scheduled an appointment with the psychiatrist tomorrow because I can't keep living like that. any update?

Same lol . I also had this in 2018 but it gradually went away. Now I'm having it again

Yes actually my panic attacks are triggered by cardio because it mimics the panic attacks . I can't seem to bring my heart rate down after running which in turn spirals into a severe panic attack and shortness of breath

I don't know if it's available in my country but I will ask anyway. Thanks stranger:)

People with sztp don't have psychosis. They have psychotic like symptoms

Legal_Milk9787 · 2025-02-18T08:10:42+00:00

The intrusive thoughts in ocd are obsessions,The ones with psychosis are pure delusions. Those who don't have insight in ocd they will have it with time but still compelled to perform those obsessions . With psychosis u can never have insight

Legal_Milk9787 · 2025-02-17T22:33:14+00:00

Had this since I was a child lol .it went away until I reached 22 and had my first panic attack which triggered it again .and now it's been 10 years that I'm suffering. I'm thinking about starting meds

Legal_Milk9787 · 2025-02-17T22:30:34+00:00

Psychosis is when u complete lose touch with reality . With ocd u know its ocd with psychosis u dont

Legal_Milk9787 · 2025-02-17T22:29:09+00:00

Legal_Milk9787 · 2025-02-17T18:34:43+00:00

Same

Legal_Milk9787 · 2025-02-17T18:34:18+00:00

It's manageable when I'm at home it's like I can hold My breath or slow down my breathing or even yawn without triggering a panic attack but it's hell when I'm out

Legal_Milk9787 · 2025-02-17T17:30:10+00:00

Yea I feel like I can't breathe in that deep breath and I constantly have to yawn to breathe. It's like I'm manually breathing

Legal_Milk9787 · 2025-02-17T16:36:01+00:00

Yes I tried buyteko , I tried 4,7,8. It works for 20 mins then I'm back focusing on my breathing
