Hello everyone, i hope you all are doing fine. I have had the same issue for a couple years now. I am hear to tell you that there is nothing wrong with you. The deep breaths we take, its completely normal. The only thing that makes it a issue for us, is that we are paying too much attention to it, because we think there is something wrong. Everybody takes a deep breath like every 5 minutes or so, because otherwise our lungs would collapse. The thing is, everybody does it unconsiously, we pay attention to it. What we do have is OCD. You need to go see a psychologist, and learn to let go of the feeling, and learn to breath shallow, so that nobody can hear your breathing. A healthy breathing is a quite breathing. And please remember you are fine, you just need a little help to learn to accept and control it.

Hi @ayilmaz12358, thank you for stopping in and sharing. I think for many of us there certainly may be an element of paying too much attention to the breathing. There are a variety of causes and triggers for different people, and I think dealing with this sort of thing can lead to focusing on it too much. Or perhaps some people's breathing becomes "off" for whatever reason and so it's worth it to try various things like breathing exercises to get it back on track. It's also good to reassure others that we're going to be ok. Many people may start to think something is seriously wrong (like I did when it first started for me) and learning how to cope with it and manage symptoms helps with the mental aspect of it. Valuable insight, thanks again for sharing!
