Hello anxious people,

Like many of you, I suffer from a mysterious air hunger that has been boiled down to anxiety. We've heard it all before: every medical test taken comes back normal, but you're convinced it's a physical problem, despite the only answer being anxiety. Well, I've been suffering since February and my air hunger has gotten 85% better. In the hopes that this information might help someone, here's what I've been doing:

1. Lexapro 10mg daily (prescribed obvi) 
2. Breathwork - tried Buteyko, basically just doing breath holds and trying to breath much less
3. Reducing intense physical exercise, stopped dieting (perpetual dieter here :/ )
4. Magnesium and B12 supplements (this randomly made a drastic difference)

I've also used a lot of marijuana to cope NGL. It helps me think about my breathing less. Now, I'm not encouraging mixing drugs here, but do what feels right for you and don't have to much shame about coping with what FEELS like some sort of invisible, intangible terminal illness.

I hope that this helps someone. This sub and others have been so hopeful to me in finding answers but also community so thanks.
