Hi @yessir321, while your insight and advice I'm sure will help others consider what it may or may not be, just a word of caution is that none of us here are or are presumed to be medical experts. This is a forum where people share their stories, their progress, and anything that may have helped. Simply labeling something as anxiety or anything else is generally not the greatest approach since none of us fully knows the story behind someone's life, their health, where they are in their journey, etc. Perhaps some have already had treatment for anxiety or psychological issues, etc. etc. While it's possible it could be anxiety, it's also very possible that it could be something else. People share what they believe to be the cause once they have whittled it down to that, and they are free to share. I share the Buteyko method because it has been what has helped me the most. The breathing exercises incorporate meditation and relaxation, both things that very much help anxiety. While it's not a magical cure, it is a tool in the toolbox along with a handful of other things such as lifestyle changes, perhaps medication for some, exercise, CBT for anxiety/depression, etc. Breathing is a complex issue as is breathing problems whether the cause is known or not. It is connected to many other bodily functions and these functions play some part in breathing, and breathe control also plays a part in symptom control. So it's good to share your thoughts and findings on what has helped you, but I caution in telling people that it's 100% what you think it is. With that, I find this forum to be a place where we share ideas and provide motivation and hope to those suffering, and those who come across and read these comments may take of them what they will in hopes that they have more to consider in their journey.
