In this video, I've explained three main reasons why this happens and what keeps this feeling of air hunger going.
Experiencing difficulty taking a full breath is a common symptom of anxiety. When anxiety strikes, it can lead to a sensation of breathlessness or the feeling that you can't fully inhale. This symptom is often referred to as "air hunger" or "shortness of breath." It can be very distressing and contribute to increased anxiety levels, which only keep the problem going.
Understanding that this symptom is a result of anxiety can help alleviate some of the worry and fear associated with it. It's important to remember that anxiety affects both the mind and body, and changes in breathing patterns are a natural response to heightened stress levels.
