Thank you! :) My breathing issues are ridiculous. I keep feeling short of breath with sinus issues ALL THE TIME. I hate it. It makes me really nervous. That's the second worst symptom ever.

I keep having issues with shortness of breath and it feels like I am skipping breaths, not breathing for a second or two at a time and it's scary. :(

Thank you Alex, I will not even Google that. Just came home from a walk, feeling a little out of breath, somewhere between normal and not normal, oddly enough.

:( Really upset at the closing of this forum, just about as upset as anhedonia will allow me to be, words can't express this. Many of you have my email and Facebook address if you need to message me.

Hey there, even though it seems useless, here's an update. My breathing is still jacked up, and I am derealizing pretty badly. i could barely recognize my own voice when talking, and I feel so strange. I hate DP so much because it makes me over analyze everything and scares me. I cannot get a deep yawn in at all and I feel kinda weak. :( Scary stuff...i need to head to bed..
Theelt, the right word for shortness of breath is "DYSPNEA"
I have it. It is anxiety

I get sinus issues too, I didn't know it was connected with withdrawal so I gave up dairy but it didn't make any difference. I mostly get mine at night, but its so random. I will be fine and then suddenly my nose is completely blocked up and I'm struggling to breathe for maybe half an hour or several hours, then just as suddenly its all clear again.
