Hello @rab and welcome to Mayo Connect,

I appreciate you sharing about your urges to breathe deeply. It is understandable that you would want to know for sure if this is something related to a physical problem or anxiety.

You say that this has been going on for about a month now. Have you had any other symptoms along with this urge to breathe deeply? I'm thinking of symptoms like chest pain, difficulty swallowing, dizziness, etc.

Have there been any stressors in your life this past month that might explain possible anxiety?

I hope you find an answer to this perplexing problem. Will you post again with an update?
